I was inspired by Carol Payne Stamps version of a card from the 2020 Holiday mini, but I couldn't decide the best way to make the trees, so I made six! For this one, I colored the ground with Lt gray Granite, then used the color lifter to lighten it. I colored the sky with Lt Balmy Blue all over, then Lt Seaside Spray, then Lt Balmy Blue again. I used white Wink of Stella over the entire tree and ground. Then I flicked lines of green Wink of Stella over the green areas of the tree. I didn't like that, so I went over the green areas with Dark Sea Foam blends. I still didn't like it, so I took an Evening Evergreen marker and flicked lines, it was much better, but I wasn't sure I liked it much, but a wise lady once told me that I owed it to myself to finish it. I do find that sometimes when I look at the finished project, the flaws that I saw as I was creating it just aren't so visible anymore. I embossed a piece of Going Grey with the Softly Falling EF, wrapped with Open Weave Ribbon, added a bow and some silver gemstones, and layered on Evening Evergreen base.
In the end, I could not decide which version I liked the best.
