Congratulations Queen Wendy! Your comments are always sweet and your gallery is wonderful! Even if you don't like my card, hers deserves a second (and third!) look: QFTD83, " A window of peace " by wendy2512 at Splitcoaststampers
This CASE-of-a-CASE was fun to do, but I made mistakes at every turn...
Stamped/masked the pine from Lovely as a Tree several times in old Olive and Distress Forest Moss on MFP Atlantic Spray CS. Stamped the pine branch from Peaceful Wishes in Memento Cottage Ivy and Versamark then heat embossed. Sponged the BG trees with Whisper White, then took a pinch of EP and sprinkled over all. Heat set (it does look like a snowstorm IRL). Cut the panels (measured wrong, uggghhhh) and mounted on Basic Gray CS. Tied the bow and then mounted all on Old Olive CS. Should have waited for the craft ink to dry, because my fingerprints are everywhere! Cut the CB die & emboss label and stamped the sentiment. Mounted all on an Atlantic Spray card.
Enjoy your reign as Queen, Wendy! Thank you all for looking and have a peaceful day.

Sounds like you had a time of it! Been there done that, LOL, but your end result is really lovely. Would love to see it IRL! Have to settle for putting it in my faves. Tfs

I love looking at cases of cases. It is a bit like that game of passing a message along and seeing what changes. This is gorgeous and I really like the colour selections. I have that CB folder/die combo and like how you have used it here.

Wow Marzi this is gorgeous. The softness of the background trees and the pine bough are just stunning. I love the layout you chose to highlight the image as well. The bow sets this off as a picture perfect Christmas Card. This is exceptional.
