Do you know the scene in Sweet Home Alabama where Patrick Dempsey takes Reese Witherspoon to Tiffanies to propose and tells her to "pick one"? Well that's a bit what I felt like when looking through JulieHRRs gallery to pick a card to case (it probably also means that I'm going to have to go back and pick another later!) There are SSSOOOOOO many amazing cards to choose from... where to begin?!?
In the end I picked this one:Keep a Green Tree . . . DCNL908 by JulieHRR at Splitcoaststampers because I had wated to try the embossed nestie die thing. (I had a hard time with it because the instructions are for a Wizzard and I have a CB. In the end I had to settle for this which doesn't have all 3 embossed lines, just the center one. Oh well.) I also loved the simplicity of the card and wanted to try to duplicate that element.
I changed the die shape, and the stamp set. I added the buttons and moved the ribbon to make grass.
Thanks for looking!

This is the cutest card I've seen with this set!! I just love how you put the whole tree together, especially the button placement! Clean, crisp, and cute!
