First off, I am honored to be your CC guest designer for November and look forward to the weeks ahead. I love making my own designer paper so started with two pieces. The first mat is SU Cherry Cobbler paper that I stamped with a snowflake using Versamark and gold EP. The second piece was blended with SU Old Olive and Garden green to achieve our mossy meadow challenge color. I then used a MB dotted stencil and gel molding paste to achieve the raised dots. I then colored the dots after the gel dried. The trees were cut with an EK punch then colored with the SU markers. I cut the mats for the trees freehand. They are popped up with 3-D adhesive. Ribbon, stars and bling finished off this fun card!
