This is for TLC359 Besto fo 2011. Great Challenge, Judy! I chose challenge TLC328 to Decorate the Envelope. I created a scene card with trees and a garden fence and created a similar yet more simple scene on the envelope. I masked a plain piece of white cardstock to create a frame border all the way around the front and then stamped trees from my Kittie Kits, lightly colored them , sponged in the tree tops and ground area, stamped the leaf image to the tree top and gound using my mini fern stamp and then sponged the sky. I used the mini fern to add regal rose flowers along the grass line in the scene. I die cut the fun ODBD fence and added flowers and foliage in between the fence slats. The envelope looks a little different in color than the cardfront due to the difference in paper quality. I have a couple scene tutorials on my blog home page if you would like to see how I create my scenes. My blog: http://kittiekraft.typepad.com/kittiekraft/
