I think this might just be the first time I have done this Fan Club Winter challenge. Angie contacted me to do an honorary card for Stacy (twinshappy) for her amazing commitment of 10 years to host this challenge. Wow, what a gorgeous gallery, Stacy! There is so much to get inspired by. My card came together after seeing these two cards: Gifts Certificates by Twinshappy at Splitcoaststampers and December Glow by Twinshappy at Splitcoaststampers
Stamped the tree in green on a newly acquired kraft tag from Michaels. Then embossed in ivory. Even though I used an embossing buddy, the flecks hung on so I went over them with golden rod Stickles to camouflage them. I used midas touch on the star and snowflakes. I diecut a pink label and cut a small section to go alongside it. All edges were sponged with Delicata gold. Wishing Stacy all the best in her new adventures. Happy Christmas and Happy New Year and thanks for looking.

Shirl, those golden rod Stickles look wonderful on your tree ... they look like lights peeking around the snow on the boughs! Love what you did with your ribbons and yarn!

Oh, I love the color combo you used! Pink and kraft are gorgeous together. Your tree is stunning with the white puffy snow and the sparkle on the branches. Beautiful! Thanks so much for Guest Designing with us this month!

I would never have known the gold was used to be a camouflage - it looks amazing and I thought it had been your plan all along. I like youir tiny pink snowflakes.

I can see why those two caught your attention, based off of your recent cards... This is so fun. Reminds me of cut-out cookies with icing. Delightful design!! I am really liking the Timber EF.. did you get it?
