I saw a similar card on Pinterest - I think by Lisa Young, and she said she cased it from someone else but didn't know who. I added my own touches by heat embossing the tree and making it POP, and by adding some bling, and a bow. This is a pretty sweet technique where you take a clear acrylic block and you color on it with markers, spritz with water and stamp. I had to dry it with my heat tool to keep it from taking on the clear embossing powder after I stamped the tree. Sweet. I love it. Happy Tuesday everyone!

You really created a beautiful background with your colors, and the embossed tree is perfect with the embossing to give it a little extra pop. Yes, the ribbon is perfect to finish it with class. Love everything about this card. Fav'd tfs

This is really eye catching in the gallery this morning! Love the tree silhouette. Your background technique gave the perfect texture and colour to show it off against. Lovely card!
