CC391 Hopeful Forest

Photo Details

Poster: CAKath

I continue on with my series of cards using these trees. Sometimes you just get stuck on something and want to continue to work with it. Luckily, green, brown and grey could work with this set. However, I changed it up to be white predominant, using the grey for the shadows of the trees.

The only trouble is my photography. I have to order the correct light bulk and I will be back in business again. For now I am working with another lamp and can only photograph during the day; so sorry the photo isn't better.

Anyway, happy fake Monday and hope you like this! Thanks.

Kathy, this is WONDERFU! Love the mostly white textured card with the main focus on your three pine trees. The subtle stamping of the trio in light gray gives a misty/snowy appearance.

this is a great masculine birthday card Kathy-I like the foggy look in your forest-using gray to stamp some of the trees was a good idea
