Stef gave us the site "Everything Turquoise" today. I chose THIS PLATE with its hydrangea motif for the basis of my tree card. I used white Perfect Pearls and water to add some shimmer to some of the leaves in the tree.....some of them show in the photo.

You CAN see the shimmer of some of the leaves. I'll bet it's stunning face to face because it is beautiful in the picture. Your choice of embossing folder is perfect to go with the tree and love your die cut trim. What a lovely card.

Sallie, you are so very good with building on texture. I can see that shimmer on the leaves, reminds me of leaves blowing with the breeze. What a lovely card.

Oh, Sallie, this is gorgeous. I love the shimmer of the leaves, reminds me of a silver maple. And the border die is beautiful. The touch of ribbon and addition of pearls and the ef makes this beauty a true work of art. Into my "faves" it goes
