I lightly sponged the sky area with Tempting Turquoise, leaving some white spaces. I then sponged on Certainly Celery (closest I had to Pear Pizzaz), filling the the spaced in the sky and blending the two colors together. I splattered watered-down whisper white ink over the whole card using a toothbrush.
I punched pine branches and painted on some MS Sparkle Texture Effect onto the branches. I glued the tips of the branches only (so that the rest was loose and had movement), starting at the bottom with four, then layering three on top, two on top of that and finally one branch on top. I used two more branches to fill in bare spots.
Hope you'll join us at Addicted to CAS for a fun challenge ... and there's a prize for the winning entry!

LOVE your tree, SO very creative and the snow on it is just gorgous as is the back ground you have created. You are just amazing and from your note it looks like you are on the DT. YEAH!!!! The AmyR sentiment is just so perfect for this card...A fav for sure!
OMG LOLL,
This is stunningly gorgeous...going right into favs where it can be copied (Did I say copied...I meant CASED LOL!) when there is more time.
Happy Thanksgiving

One more comment to add to your richness of comments.... absolutely fantastic. Hope you win the "Addicted to CAS" contest. This is an incredible card. Whoever you give it to will be very lucky! tfs
OMGosh! Loll, this is just outstanding! I LOVE that gorgeous BG and the dimension you gave the tree! I'll have to try your toothbrush technique! Right into my favorites--not that I could ever manage what you did! AMAZING!!
TFS your creative, beautiful Christmas tree card. I have a die that will work just fine to make a tree. Just love this idea.
Your sponging is so soft and pretty. What a lovely BG for the tree.
