For sketch challenge SC237 and WT227 to use an image (or something else) twice.
I stamped the trees for the background strip, then made a frame by stamping the trees again on navy cs with white craft ink. It is hard to tell from the picture, but the navy frame is popped up alot using the extra foam pieces from the stamp sets.
This was my first card with Lovely As A Tree. I decided to finally get it when I seen that it wasn't being retired. I need more masculine cards!

Beautiful job with those trees and this is a great masculine card. Lovely As a Tree is one of my favorite SU stamp sets. Great ribbon.

Beautiful card, and I love your take here on the spotlight technique. You will be so glad you got this set. It is a classic for all time. I will NEVER give it up. TFS. Linda

Oh, Kris, this is so beautiful! I love the brown/navy/cream palette, the different-colored trees, the subtle leafy background; and it's all brought together by the framing. A masterful job! [I'm definitely stealing this one!] Thanks! ~K
