Winter Tree



This is probably my favorite stamp this season; I've used it for many Christmas cards. Here it is just stamped and heat embossed in white, framed, and placed on a snowflake-embossed background which has been sanded to bring out the detail. I added just simple embellishments, a pale pink pearl heart at the top and a pink lace heart from my friend Linda at the bottom.
