This is my first time playing in the Teapot challenge and I made this for teapotter, ConnieJo9.
I went with trees, not because I agree with Breeze but just because I love this set and don't use it that often!
Base is shimmery white and trees are stamped in Night of Navy. Sponged moon with Barley Banana and bg with a combination of Blush Blossom, Bashful Blue, Going Gray and Bordering Blue. I haven't used these retired colors in a long time and I sure to miss them. I used Versamark's Dazzle to stamp over the trees.
I'll put this in the mail for Connie tomorrow!
TFL!

Welcome to the teaparty! This is such a relaxing scene.
Looks like you could walk right into the grove of trees.

Psst...did you know that I hide cookies for the newbies? Yup, its true! Don't tell the other teapotters, they try to find them every week.......if they do, that will be all she wrote for the newbie cookies! Snort!
This card rocks! Connie will so love it! And I won't tell Breeze the real reason you brought trees! Giggle! Hey Breeze! Oops, I almost forgot and spilled the beans!

What a lovely snowy scene!! I'd love to see the hoarfrost IRL, but then I don't want to be in the cold that goes along with it, so this is good for feeding the mind!!
Welcome to the Tea Party!!

Robin, this is an awesome card!! Love those trees and your background is stunning!! Welcome to the Tea Party, we are delighted that you have joined us. Be sure to ask the Mudder for the cookies that she keeps for the newbies. If the other teapotters have already eaten them all!!

Superb elegance. Just love the soft sponging-there really is an art to creating such a consistent effect, one I have yet to master. So I'll just enjoy yours!
