Hello again,
This is a well recognized card here at SCS by Pat Smethers. Hers here is so much better. She used a square format, a different die, different verse but all in all I did very similar...I don't think you could mistake it. I used a glitter SnowTex that doesn't seem to be very white. I added white pine branches with my green
The die I used is from Sue Wilson and I hand cut the mat for it tracing around the outside of the die. This church looks just like the chapel in Yosemite Valley, close to where we live.
Pat was my first friend here at SCS! We met too. She lives about 50 miles away and she came up to the store where I teach classes. She is the most energetic, contagiously exciting person...what a sweetheart!
Thanks for looking!

Oh my....sweet friend, you have gone over the top with this! I love this lil scene and your snowy white branches tucked into the green! This could be a church in your area. I remember the first time we met, and smile! You warm my heart and inspire me with your talent. We are so over due for a visit. Miss you.... (((Hugs)))

Oh my gosh, I LOVE this card. First, I love old churches and take photos of them on trips. Both of you made stunning cards.
