This is a see in real life kind of card! I tried and tried to get the glitter on the dotted background from the Wink of Stella brush to show up on my photo. All the textures from the watercolor paper, die cut and popped up tree and faux sewing really make this CAS card stand out too. You do not want to know how many pictures I took, but you all know what I am talking about...lol! Hope you enjoy and have fun using your imagination ;-0

Oh yes, I understand the photo frustrations! Your perfect stitches and popped panel and tree are perfect little touches.
Glad you made it home safe! Hope you had a great time!
So cool!!! Beautiful texture on the tree! I love the background. Oh yes, I DO know exactly what you mean about having to take tons of photos! I spent over an hour today and about 50 photos, thank goodness it's digital!

I don't need my imagination to see this is a lovely card! The spotty, swirly background makes a great foil to show off your wonderful tree. I love the stitched border too! TFS
