This card features the Waterfront & Rooted in Nature stamp sets from Stampin' Up!.  First I sponged the background, then stamped the mountain images (1st & 2nd generation stamping), shaded the edges and mountains with sponged daubers, and stamped the tree image on the top of all with archival black ink.
