It's hard making Christmas cards when it's hot outside but having a mood board such as this one from Peace On Earth's #69 sketch challenge really inspired me to get creative. When trying to decide on my winter themed card I was drawn to two of the elements in the mood board. The first was the white horse with the jaunty Santa hat and the second was the white chenille looking trees.

HERE IS MY CARD:
I liked the little pops of red shown in the mood board. I added a layer of Cherry Cobbler cardstock to the card front followed by a piece of Whisper White that I embossed with the Evergreen Forest 3D embossing folder. If I was making this card again, I think I'd spritz the Whisper White layer with water prior to embossing to make the trees a little bolder or emboss a second piece and cut around the trees and then layer them over the base layer of trees with dimensionals.
