Winter tree

At Scrappy frogs the DT was asked to create a project with a tree on it. It is tougher than it sounds. I walked around my craft room, even colored a few stamps that I have that are trees and just could not get the look I was trying for.

Last winter, the first snow, I took a picture of the branches in my yard and I just love this picture. It has been so long since using something on a project that was not stamped and colored I thought I could use a change. Here is my creation.

I take my pictures outside and you'll notice a shade across the card, that is from the same tree that this pic came from. I used the aged function in Jasc paint shop pro to get the weathered look and really like the affect that it has on this pic.

The dp is Magic of the season made especially for Hobby Lobby. It's kind of a vintage looking paper set in reds, cremes and blacks which is another one of my favorite color combos. I added a couple of flowers, brads and ribbon from my stash to embellish the card.

For the inside of the card I used a stamp from stampin up. I thought it was perfect since I think this is a thing of beauty.Thanks for stopping by and visiting and would love to hear from you.
