These trees are for a couple of gentlemen friends of mine one who especially loves the fall of the year and the other is winter sports person! (I am ahead of the game now because these are ready a little early...YEA!! I am usually rushing at the last moment especially with masculine cards!!) I wouldn't mind a little of that kind of weather here in the middle of the arid, parched, bone-dry, dehydrated and extremely hot weather we are experiencing in central TEXAS!! Makes me just want to stay home and stamp.... luckily that is all I have to do, but I miss hitting the stamping supply stores!! Always the internet to peruse.
I stamped my trees and grass from Posh Impressions in VersaFine Vintage Sepia, which is chocolate brown to me, on one card and VersaFine Black on the other and embossed them in clear ep. Cut the trees out with a Spellbinders Nestie rectangle and another around that. Added some stickles to simulate frost, added a couple of MS borders, decorated the envelopes and VOILA!!

Oh my, it's absolutely beautiful!! We here in the water-logged, chilly north Atlantic are thinking of you in Texas and wishing we could send some of our rain your way~

Omigosh! These are GORGEOUS, Phyllis! I really love the effect you achieved by stamping the sepia and black, clear embossing, and then adding the frosted effect with the stickles. What a PERFECT masculine card!
