I think my nature cards are the most relaxing for me to make. And I love adding a seasonal greeting to them, which only makes them extra special for the holidays!

For this card, I used the Thoughtful Branches, Sheltering Tree and Holly Berry Happiness stamp sets. I stamped the trio of trees with Tip Top Taupe ink and then used the leaf stamp for a snowy effect. I used Versa Mark and embossed with white embossing powder for the snow topped trees.

Then, I ran it through the Big Shot with the Softly Falling embossing folder to add to the snow covered scene. I popped that layering piece on top of a square piece of Kraft paper, tied with some burlap ribbon and twine. I added the sentiment below the layering pieces and embellished with a tiny ruby adhesive gem. Simple and Peaceful…my idea of the perfect holiday scenery!
