OMG this is so shiny. I really should use more glitter. Thank you, Yvette for the glitter challenge!
I stamped my tree several times using my Stamp-a-ma-jig. First the trunk with rich cocoa, then the green with bamboo leaves, then the center with cottage ivy, then kind of all over with forest moss. I found this paper in my collection of ten year old DP and I think it's just fabulous yet muted enough to let the tree really shine. Then I added the enamel dots that I made by melting plastic beads in the oven. It stunk up my house so I probably won't do it again.

I have made my own dots too, now I stick with premade ones and Nuvo drops, the peeler beads are relegated to the kids art stash! Love the bling and your gorgeous focal image!

Gorgeous! Thanks for explaining how you achieved the color on the pine tree. It was worth every step you took to get it! I'm printing this for future reference - I, too, like the Memento greens and use them often. Can't wait to try this myself. Might even do the glitter after seeing your lovely card! TFS
