This is my first time playing in the Teapot challenge and I made this for teapotter, ConnieJo9.
I went with trees, not because I agree with Breeze but just because I love this set and don't use it that often!
Base is shimmery white and trees are stamped in Night of Navy. Sponged moon with Barley Banana and bg with a combination of Blush Blossom, Bashful Blue, Going Gray and Bordering Blue. I haven't used these retired colors in a long time and I sure to miss them. I used Versamark's Dazzle to stamp over the trees.
I'll put this in the mail for Connie tomorrow!
TFL!

Oh wow, Robin, this is just so beautiful!! Welcome along to the tea party. I couldn't get to comment yesterday - I was in bed by the time SCS was back up and running.
Lucky Connie getting this beauty - I could spend a long time looking at it.

Wow, Robin - such a GORGEOUS rendering of the Lovely as a Tree image - with the frost and shimmer!! You are right - we sometimes forget about some of the older stamps and how good they are to use - what a fabulous card - you sure deserve some cookies !! Welcome to the teaparties!!! We are so glad you came!

Ooooooooh what a beautiful image this is and how nicely that you used it. Love the color combination too...I think that the best thing about *not* being a demo is being able to use whatever colors that I want. Really beautiful card.
