Christmas Tree

Good morning... 
It's a lovely cold but sunny day today, there are leaves fallen everywhere but the fall colours still look pretty...

Here's another card...


With a tree cut from one of my tissue technique backgrounds


It's very simple and I used some frame dies - one to cut and one to dry emboss


I've spent a fair bit of time preparing things for the club and even done some crocheting - One of the girls at the church asked me to make some dolls for her...

Thank you all so much for your kind wishes for my Aunt, she was taken back into hospital last night so it isn't looking good - I'll keep you posted

Enjoy your day

So sorry to hear your aunt is worse, Ros. No matter how old a loved one is, we're not ready to be without them. Sending big hugs your way. That tree is absolutely stunning & I love the addition of the embossed frame--gotta try that!

All the backgrounds you've made are coming in handy for making utterly beautiful cards! I love how the dry embossing gives your frame a puffy look and, ohhhh, that big sparkly "sparkle" is fantastic! You've been busy. Hope you're feeling better. Again, I'm really sorry about your aunt.

Sorry to hear about your aunt - hope she's okay. A lovely card - I think putting the bits at angles (if you know what I mean) looks great.
