a green, grey and white sparkly tree

Well it snowed a couple of inches so this card goes with the snow outside! I have created this card for 3 challenges.

Midnight Madness Sketch #83-Fancy
Colour Create Challenge #59-Grey, green and white
Penny Black Challenge #139-stamp on anything but white
Penny Black at Allsorts-December Challenge-Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Well, I used one of my favorite Penny Black stamps, AGAIN! I embossed it with snowflake embossing powder. The saying is embossed the same way and is StampinUp. I alternated gems and pearls around the image. The papers are Magenta and Sandylion. I ran the white panel through the snowflake Cuttlebug embossing folder. The Snowflakes are by Joanne Crafts. This card is more sparkly in real life. Thanks for stopping by!

    A great job on the embossing Julie and I love the Tree image. I bet it sparkles beautifully in real life. I also have the same problem getting sparkle to show up on my photographs.
    Thank you for playing along in our challenge this month at Penny Black at Allsorts and we hope to see you again.
