Keepsake Tree Painting

I made this for my little girl's 2nd birthday party. It is a great momento of the day spent with family and hangs in her bathroom.


I have a thing for trees. I am a nature lover and I like the symbolism trees have- as they grow and branch out they still remaine firmly rooted. I like that this tree has become a family tree since it contains the fingerprints of our family that was at my little girl's party.

I painted the tree with empty branches on a wooden canvas prior to the party. And as guests arrived, I asked them to ink their thumb with the green inkpad press onto a branch to make a leaf, then write their name next to it.
