Finally! I've finished all my CCC13 Christmas cards for the year with these last 8 for November.
I die cut the purple cs and embossed the trees and sentiment with silver ep. I added a narrow strip of silver cs at the top, sponged the bottom edge, rounded the corners of the back half of the card, and sponged around the trees to give a snowy/misty look. Last of all, I added snowflakes with a white gel pen.
This was a card that kept metamorphosizing. I was originally only going to have the cut edge, silver trees and silver strip, but I kept wanting to add things.
I took four photos (2 of single and 2 of group) and got four shade of purple. I think with editing, I got it pretty close to the real shade.

Purple as the background for that much loved lovely as a tree - a fantastic idea and beautiful follow-through! The recipients will be charmed. Thank so much for sharing!

Gorgeous card Val and I love the shape of it! How unique! The colors are fabulous and love the added white sponging along the edges and the snow. Just beautiful!
