Celebrate

This is a birthday card for my friend Leona who lives in Washington State, one of the densest areas of evergreens in the country.  Lucky them -  they get to enjoy green winters, not ugly brown ones like so many of the rest of us have to . . .

 

 . . . so I figured a card covered with evergreens would strike a familiar note!  The large die cut evergreen is part of Tim Holtz’s set of two trees of slightly different sizes and shapes.  They weren’t designed to be layered, but I was after a fuller look with more dimension, so I glued the smaller tree on top of the larger one.  I like the result and I even think Tim would approve.  How about you?
