This week the Tea Party is headed to Steve who has recently undergone a bone marrow transplant to combat leukemia. Steve loves the outdoors and his favorite colors are blue and sand. My favorite outdoor spot is in the pines in the mountains. I hope Steve likes that spot too.
This tree stamp has several open spots that I guess is suppose to be snow, but I didn't want a snow scene. I stamped the trees with DI on watercolor paper then used a brush and water to move the ink around to fill in the "holes". Restamped, moved, and then restamped a couple more times. For the ground, I mixed Scattered Straw and Walnut Stain DI trying for a sandy color. Didn't quite make it, so I guess I will only get half a cookie today.
The CAS challenge this week is to take a trip. My fondest memories are the camping trips I took as a youth to Yosemite Valley. I think Yosemite is my favorite spot on this planet, but then I haven't been to all the spots yet so I can't say for absolute sure.
Hope you have an extraordinary day. TFL

In the pines in the mountains sounds like a beautiful place to be, and I'm sure Steve will love this. It's one of the things we like about the heat in Greece and southern France - it brings out the scent of the pine. Though I suppose it's also the reason they have more forest fires than we do. The textured card really adds to this.
Oh, this is the sweetest card for an outdoorsy guy! The forest you created is stunning! My outdoorsy guy would love how you kept it CAS! Beautiful card!

I think this will transport Steve's thoughts to his beloved outdoors when he sees your beautiful evergreen scene. A perfect masculine CAS card to brighten Steve's day!
