Merry Monday: White-on-White

 I have gotten very bad at getting ahead on Christmas.  I was way ahead last year and it made that last month so much easier.  I have to remember that feeling and get moving again this year.  This week's Merry Monday kicked me into gear because I love white-on-white Christmas cards.

White Christmas

FYI - I gave up trying to get a good picture of this one.  I have trouble with white cards.  I have trouble with glitter.  I didn't stand a chance of getting a great picture of this, so I gave up fairly early!

Here's a close-up.  I was trying to get a more dimensional look by layering two of the tree die cuts.  You can see that some trees are behind the top layer - but it's really too subtle to be really effective.

  4. Oh my goodness, Kim, that is absolutely exquisite; I Pinned it onto 3 different boards, as a matter of fact :) And here's a coincidence: I have a post that went live today using the other MFT Die-namics treeline die; it's a summer camping card. I'd love for you to check it out! http://www.valbydesign.com/send-troubles-backpacking-favorite-things/
