Hi everyone, okay first I apoligze for this poor attempt at painting~I'm no artist! lol But Cindy this is all your fault! I tried the cute little video on how to paint a tree! And this is what I came up with! I used metallic paint for the trees. I sponged the sky and use a metallic gelly roll pen for the stars and the sentiment. Torn some paper and added gliltter for snow. Kris I really love your beautiful cards~you do a awesome job! I hope your surgery goes well and you are back to making cards real soon. It's the thought that counts so just know I had only good thoughts when I tried to paint! lol TFL
Hugs Linda

I think you did a great job, Linda! Kris is going to get a kick out of our cards......especially when she realizes we had to go "stampless" and improvise! Your card turned out wonderfully!

Okay, I will gladly take credit for this awesome card! Sorry girlfriend, but your trees are awesome! I can so see the Bob Ross look to these! If you kept practicing these, you would be bootin' the instructor outa this classroom! Hey, even though you actually painted, come back and see us at the back door.......we got cookies and we will share with the true arteests! Giggle!
I am proud of you and Kris will love this! You rocked this challenge!

Well listen Linda!! Apologies are useless with this beautiful card as your talent is evident!! Your trees came out amazing and If I were you I would certainly use this technique again. Kris will love it as much as I do!! TFS and Merry Christmas to you!! Hugs, Judi
