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!

Oh, Kate, You will have a wonderful month and from the looks of this card so will we while looking at your samples and being inspired from them. Your backgrounds are awesome! Creating them is so much better than just using dsp! But not nearly as quick. Thanks for taking the time. I love your tree toppers. that really dresses up the card as does that bit of woodgrain ribbon. Super!
