Decorative Trees - Garden Green

 

Decorative Trees + Wishing You Joy stamp sets

This week's monochromatic Insta Hop color is Garden Green.  The plaid DSP set the tone for my card.  Kind of a country feel. I think the tree from Decorative Trees stamp set makes a great little forest (or Christmas Tree farm).  I'm loving the trees with this plaid!


Decorative Trees + Wishing You Joy stamp sets

There are no dies for this stamp set so I fussy cut the tree and star, both were very simple.   I used 2 layers of torn paper to create the snow drifts, then added Wink Of Stella to the top of the torn edges.  I also used the Wink of Stella on the main tree and star.  Subtle but sweet.
