Even though I live in the plains, part of my heart actually resides in lush green places filled with foliage & florals. This card reminds me a bit of a Fall visit to the mountains alongside Albuquerque, NM years ago. When it comes to my own Christmas cards, I'm always conscious of keeping them to the "no extra postage" level, just as in Diane's HYCT1509 challenge. Come join in the HYCCT challenges with us!
Just wondering...how did you get the pines behind the trees? Which comes first the trees or the pines?? Maybe I'm stupid but I've been staring at this for 20 minutes and can't figure it out!

This is gorgeous. Love the sparkle. The white embossed tree trunks look great over the dark green trees and softly sponged sky. It does look like a Silent Night scene. It has such a sense of calm. Thank you for doing my challenge; this gorgeous card could be mailed with no extra postage. Thank you for participating in HYCCT with your beautiful creation.

Gorgeous! This caught my eye right away! You've proven that a "no extra postage" card doesn't have to be simple...this is so elegant and beautiful! Nice job on this challenge!

Reply to Dog Lady, You can google the name of the embossing folder and get a lot of images. Some have directions. The tecnique is to stamp on the embossing folder before embossing.
