Trees in the Forest

     Edited to add:  Beccy's Place threw me a curve giving us a non-alphabet letter prompt for today but I'd worked ahead on and pre-scheduled  my "T" card since it's Thanksgiving and I won't be posting until I'm back home.  I'll get caught up as soon as I can.
   
      One more post with a card for the 30 Days of Holiday cards at Beccy's Place and the prompt is "T."  Trees is a pretty obvious choice but I chose this image from Beccy's with pine Trees in the forest instead of a decorated Tree in the house.

I admit I was heavily inspired by the color combo photo

which I found at House that Stamps Built.

     I used ProMarkers to color the image, then cut it with a simple, rectangle die from Tonic Studios.  I added Teal ink to the edges of the cut piece.  The mulberry paper is called Teak Brown.  The Trees have a Tapered shape, adding yet another T !

     That's all I have for today but I have two posts pre-scheduled for Friday; one for QKR Stampede and one for the next Beccy's Place daily challenge and the rather difficult letter "U."  I'm good so far at having been able to post each day of 30 days and it looks like I may get all the days in, even if I have to play catch up again after the weekend.  Happy Crafting.  NanaConnie

Winter Wonderland

    I have two posts again today and then things should slow down a bit.  This card is a bit different for me since it has no colored image but is all done with rubber stamps and embossing, and with a bit of sparkle from hologram papers.

     The trees, the sentiment, and the snowflakes are all heat embossed and then die cut with a simple circle die.  I used a kraft card blank, and layered on a leftover from a die cut frame I had used on another project.  I found a scrap of green, sparkly ribbon, wrapped it around the card front, and layered the embossed piece over it.   I  used the last bit of that scrap ribbon to make a folded bow, then added a candy cane across the mid-point of the bow.  The holly and leaves were punched from hologram paper.
