Christmas Pines

I made this card in honour of today's talented Featured Stamper at Splitcoaststampers, Lee-Anne Cross, aka Shadow's Mom.  

HERE is her beautiful clean and simple card which inspired me.  

I used Dee's Distinctively Snow Covered Stacker Tree Small to make the trees.  

The die set is fantastic because you simply use a different number of the varied sizes to make your tree bigger or smaller and can cut from green, or from white for a snow covered tree - that's my next card! 

Here's a close up of the dies and how they cut so you can see how easy it is to build your trees!

I used a punch for the tiny snowflakes and Cheery Lynn Designs Snowflowers 2 for the larger snowflake, then added pearls.  

The snow bank is hand cut with a craft knife.

I love this verse from the Verve set, Richly Blessed - quoting the angels words at Jesus' birth, it just about sums up Christmas - Jesus came to earth to bring peace and goodwill to people and glory to God Himself!
