Trees for Christmas Card Club

Good morning and I hope this finds you well. I had the pleasure of choosing the theme for this challenge and my choice was trees. This could have been Christmas trees, trees in the forest, etc so I'm looking forward to seeing what the other girls in our little club have made.

Card #1

Recipe
5" x &7" white base card
kraft cardstock 
stamp, dies, e/f - Winter's Tale Crafter's Companion

The brick embossing folder came in a set together with the window die, Christmas tree stamp and another tree stamp. The pine leaves were a separate die set but all from the same range. I bought them early this year when they were on sale but haven't used them until now.  I put a piece of  transparency film behind the die  to make it look glass.  The tree was stamped onto a scrap piece of card stock which I thought looked like wallpaper.
Card #2

Recipe
4" x 6" base card
Knban topper
unknown sentiment stamp
silver glitter card - Hobbycraft

Very simple card made with a glittered Kanban topper which I found in the back of a drawer.  There were four different ones on an A4 sheet.  It's difficult to see on the picture but the angel is holding her hand out to a white dove.

Card #3 

Recipe
5" x 7" base card
e/f - Sue Wilson
sentiment die - Sue Wilson
Snowflake tree die - Britannia die
pearlescent card - Crafter's Companion

Another simple card with just a few pearls added. 

Well that's it from me today.

Take care and enjoy the rest of the weekend.
