Decorated Trees

 I saw a version of this gorgeous card, that highlights many of the components of this lovely bundle! What I also liked, is that it highlights our 2-tone papers! The trees are a combination of the Garden Green and Granny Apple Green papers! Notice the subtle color changes in the layers? It also makes for a thinner, lighter weight card. My one suggestion is to be sure to make use of our Adhesive Sheets for all the intricate layers and decorations! That was so helpful!
