Seriously ...These are beautiful tree cards, Leslie! Seriously beautiful. I would have never thought to use the plum ink on a sympathy card, but may have to give it a go in the future. Stunning colors, and those trees work perfectly here. Your sentiment expresses sympathy in a lovely way, too. And what a sweet Christmas card! There's something special about white on black embossing, and the touch of gold with the tree frame adds just the right finishing touch. Gorgeous card!! Love them both. Take care and stay safe!

Love that I can see the moon through the trees. Your gold embossed sentiment and brads are the perfect accents. Your Christmas card is stunning with the white black gold and embossing. <br />Lastly, thanks for your comment on my blog assuring you don't tire of my buying new stuff. That thought made me smile for sure! But I feel the same way about your selections. It's all part of the process, isn't it?

(LOL)<br /><br />Pink and black is so eye catching, but the way you have created a feeling of "eternity" in the scene, both close up, and in the sense of what is "beyond", is just incredible. I love the moon peeking from the clouds providing the hint of the great light of Hope is beautiful. I love this card. I can imagine your delight in stenciling, and then stamping the trees in the background. I have fallen in love with that sentiment. In fact, 10 minutes were just spent trying to find it on the internet, but Just Right stamps are long gone, even on e-bay. It's beautiful! Of course I am in love with the elegant gold and black Christmas card. That die cut works beautifully with the stamped trees! I have never thought of layering white on white sentiment strips the way you did on this card. Thanks for sharing your lovely creations today - both are pinned. xxDonna Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16493910748228055970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726403261110080226.post-23952140017988120542020-09-17T20:41:36.536-07:002020-09-17T20:41:36.536-07:00Leslie I love tree line stamps, this is one I'...Leslie I love tree line stamps, this is one I've never seen but absolutely love what you did with it for both cards :)Christine Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04643022474140754424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726403261110080226.post-46429372680028303182020-09-17T18:31:00.962-07:002020-09-17T18:31:00.962-07:00Stunning sensational and superb cards, love the pi...Stunning sensational and superb cards, love the pink clouds and absolutely fabulous results. xxaussie aNNiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02475057905774544464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726403261110080226.post-46187092888839522252020-09-17T17:37:21.431-07:002020-09-17T17:37:21.431-07:00Oh Leslie you have knocked it out of the park with...Oh Leslie you have knocked it out of the park with these two.
