I saw a similar card on Pinterest - I think by Lisa Young, and she said she cased it from someone else but didn't know who. I added my own touches by heat embossing the tree and making it POP, and by adding some bling, and a bow. This is a pretty sweet technique where you take a clear acrylic block and you color on it with markers, spritz with water and stamp. I had to dry it with my heat tool to keep it from taking on the clear embossing powder after I stamped the tree. Sweet. I love it. Happy Tuesday everyone!

Wow! You've really rocked the acrylic block inking technique with this one, Karen!! I've tossed out far more of these trials that I'll ever admit ... but "this" is wonderfully inspiring!

Your back ground is so cool, Karen, and sounds pretty easy to do - gotta try it. I always love when something is outside the box and that black embossed tree is super. Luv your added touches.
