These trees are for a couple of gentlemen friends of mine one who especially loves the fall of the year and the other is winter sports person! (I am ahead of the game now because these are ready a little early...YEA!! I am usually rushing at the last moment especially with masculine cards!!) I wouldn't mind a little of that kind of weather here in the middle of the arid, parched, bone-dry, dehydrated and extremely hot weather we are experiencing in central TEXAS!! Makes me just want to stay home and stamp.... luckily that is all I have to do, but I miss hitting the stamping supply stores!! Always the internet to peruse.
I stamped my trees and grass from Posh Impressions in VersaFine Vintage Sepia, which is chocolate brown to me, on one card and VersaFine Black on the other and embossed them in clear ep. Cut the trees out with a Spellbinders Nestie rectangle and another around the that. Added some stickles to simulate frost, added a couple of MS borders, decorated the envelopes and VOILA!!

Oh Fall is in the air. After our flirtation with 100 degrees here in the NE, I was pretty traumatized. The vignette of your trees is very soothing to me. I have been known to go out and cheer on cold fronts coming down from Canada! Beautiful serene card.

Ooh, you are rocking the trees today girlfriend! Man-cards are tough but you not only nailed a masculine feel you also did it with their favorites! Its been way hot here too, not like Texas though! You are doing good getting through the summer making your awesome cards! Your buddies will be tickled with what you did here!
