A simple card but striking. I embossed the black card stock with the framed tuplips EF first. Then stamped the snowflakes from snowflake soiree set with craft white, and heat embossed with baby blue pastel embossing powder from stampin-n stuff and white ultra detail embossing powder by stampendous. Cardstock is from paper studio.
Stamped the tree with craft white then heat embossed with white embossing powder (EP). Colored a few spots on the tree with versamark pen, then heat embossed with gold EP.
A wonderful trip to see family in California for the Thanksgiving holiday. So much to be thankful for... and many thank you cards to make!

I have the privilege of teaching a card workshop at a senior living facility. This is the card we will be making.
