This card goes to our very special crafting friend, Karen (Art Deco Diva). I'm late because I had two Christmases at my house. Celebration went on for a while and was really enjoyed.
The card was really easy. I stamped the trees in black, gray, and pink. I inked the black and stamped, cleaned off and inked the gray. Made a mask with GinaK Masking Magic Sheets (love it for masking) and inked the pink trees in the background. I made snowbanks for a very wintry scene.
The inside stamp: May God meet you in your time of need.

What a tranquil, peaceful feel and beautiful CAS design. I especially like the trees stamped in pink at the back, it's as if they were being tinged by the rising sun, very effective.

Oh Wow, Brenda, this scene is stunning. What beautiful results you achieved with stamping the trees in different colors and the snowbanks look beautiful too.

Bestill my heart Brenda, this is such an incredibly gorgeous card! I LOVE trees and seeing this forest of towering fir trees really gave me a thrill. I adore how you added a few pink trees into the scene too and did some light pink shading as well. In my perfect world, there would be pink and purple trees! Your shaded snowbanks are so beautifully done I had to look at them a couple of times to make sure they were shaded. Yep! They are and oh-so expertly done too. Thank you so much for taking time from your incredibly busy holiday season to make and send me such a gorgeous card, and thank you for the lovely sentiment and the oh-so kind words you wrote inside the card too. I am so grateful! Big hugs from me to you Brenda. Love, Karen.
