Here's something that I came up with while trying the LSC78 Challenge - using my stipple brush. I think I was using a "stipple" brush
For the background, I stippled around the inside of a Creative Memories Oval Cutter. I also used the stipple brush for the embossing on the tree and then I stippled silver pearl-ex on the warm tree (something I learned during a VSN a couple of months ago.......really hard to see in this scan).
I wish I was better with accessories because I'm thinking this is missing something and for the life of me, I can't figure it out.........feel free to leave any suggestions!!!
Thanks....Nancy

Love your card, don't know that it really needs anything. Alot of times I think that the card still needs just something but the person that I'm giving it to just loves it.

This is soooo Wow!! Think I need to mount my set and play with it. But I am stuck playing with flowers right now.

Gorgeous card! Love the soft colors! I don't think it needs anything either but if you really feel you must add something, you usually can never go wrong with a bit of ribbon.

I think your card is great the way it is too! Some cards just need some ribbon or something but this one is perfect just how it is, why change a good thing??

Very pretty effect! Love the oval background for that beautiful tree! I was very timid about using accessories for a long time myself. What helped me was CASEing cards that I liked how they used ribbons and other embellishments. It's still not something that comes easy to me, but I'm better now (as Stan Laurel said to Oliver Hardy). :o) TFS. Linda
