Today's CAS challenge is to sponge! A more difficult challenge for me would be NOT to sponge, I seem to end up doing it on most cards! I embossed three trees in white and sponged various inks around them, then cut out the scene with Spellbinders Nesties Labels Four. I sprinkled embossing powder and heated for snow. Then drew around the labels die on black card and cut that out for a small black frame since I'd used the largest die. Finished off by added the sentiment, ribbon, and tiny pearls. The ribbon is an exact match with Melon Mambo, though it looks darker in the photo. Forgot to mention that I sprinkled dazzling diamonds on the white embossing ink before heating so there's a sparkle on the trees in real life!

Just gorgeous! The lavender and pick, with the white trees, is really beautiful! I love the added embossing for the snow--you really did such a nice job with it! I don't think I could have gotten that look!
