Thanks for a nice easy challenge. I made this card twice because the first one I did on plain paper and it was just too PLAIN. I love this green DCWV cardstock and it was just lying there, so I tried it. Much better than PLAIN.
The trees are a Tim Holtz mini Embossing Folder which I added green ink to. Then I thought it needed more as they didn't show up well, so I followed the edges with a fine tip black marker. Now I like them. I used my onion bag on the opposite side and sponged more green ink on for a better background. Stamped the sentiment on top of that in Memories Black and I sure do like this one. I hope you do too.

So lovely, Carol. Since I've been short on time this week I dont yet know if you uploaded the 'plain' version too, but the texture in this one caught my eye straight off, along with your creative sponging.
