Winter Pines

I think I had to do this stamped image three times before I got it right, and I ended up using the first one for the card. It's a Tim Holtz Collection, Reindeer Fight stamp that has these beautiful pines. I used a glossy cardstock and stamped it with Ranger Clear Resist Ink Pad. The distressing is done in Ranger Distress Inks, Broken China and Peeled Paint. I had some green glitter from a Barbra Trombley's Art glitter Pee Wee Kit in Raggae Transparent, that I used to fill in the trees with. Some Craft Lounge Crafty Sparkles in Chunky Crystal for snow crystals in the air around the trees. The cut is done with Spellbinders, Big Scalloped Ovals Lg. It fit perfectly into this Provo Cuttlebug A2 Embossing Folder, Scrollwork on green foil. I used a bit of Ranger Stickles, Diamond to fill in a few of the enclosures of the scrollwork and got a fun 'stained glass windows' look. I also lined a few of the lines with some green and red gems. I stamped the sentiment from Craft Lounge, Crafty Clear Stamps in Merry Wishes onto another die cut form the Spellbinders set. The ribbon was added and that seemed like enough for me. I don't have the best camera for this much glam. This was the best of about five or six photos I took. Hope it will do.
