One lone pine tree....





Hello Cherry here with another simple country Christmas style card. I fell in love with this Pine Tree stamp from The Rubber Cafe. I knew it would work perfectly with Melissa's technique that I shared awhile back using the Scrappy Happy glue on the back of your chosen stamp. It worked perfectly and really brought the detail out on the tree. I used the Hunter green you re so fine glitter which is a gorgeous color! It pairs so well with a Christmas red. I really kept my card simple because I wanted my image to stand out. I used one lone button and a bit of ribbon with bells. Other than that a few layers of papers and that was it. I can't wait to use this stamp to make a few wintery tags...maybe with the tree flocked. So many fun ideas floating in my head! Hope you enjoy! Thanks for letting me share. hugs, cherry

Oh, Cherry! Your creations are just so beautiful! I've just spent the last 10 minutes perusing. LOVE! And I love that you're getting all geared up for Christmas with this beauty! Jingle bells just say Christmas all over them, too. I, too, just used them on a soon-to-come, Wplus9 Release creation ;). Thank you for being a constant source of inspiration! Hugs!
