Christmas Trees



I'm trying to make more and more Christmas cards early on so I don't leave myself in a lurch with needing lots of last minute cards like last year. I used the sketch for the current Freshly Made Sketches challenge and am also entering it into the Paper Players Challenge to use trees. 

The background was watercolored with Peacock Feathers distress ink then splattered with Heidi Swapp white color shine (to mimic the look of falling snow).  


Here is what I used:

STAMPS: Triangle Trees (Reverse Confetti).
PAPER: Wild Wasabi (SU), White (PTI), Ranger watercolor CS.
INK: Versamark; Peacock Feathers distress ink.
DIES: Tall Pine Trees by Frantic Stamper Inc.; Wreaths by Reverse Confetti; Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-Namics by My Favorite Things.

Thanks so much for stopping by...hope it's sunnier and drier in your corner of the world.  VA is getting rain today from Hurricane Michael and winds are to pick up this evening.
