A little inking directly to my tree stamp in different shades of green ink; then lightly misting with water and stamping onto my card panel. Repeated these steps until I was happy with the results. I finished with one last stamping, this time Versamark ink and then heat embossed to protect the tree image.
I used a few shades of blue to sponge the sky. Added a torn snowhill at the bottom of my focal panel, stamped with a Christmas sentiment (retired). For the finishing touch, sprinkled Chunky White Frantage and heat embossed to melt. The whole panel is popped up onto the white card base.

I still have that stamp set also Loll. I love how you used it on your lovely card. The background looks awesome.
So beautiful in its simplicity, Loll.
I still love Lovely as a Tree too - one old SU set I'd never get rid of. You did that single tree justice with the shades of green and a bit of spritzing. Beautiful sky with the chunky frantage snow!
Beautiful card, Loll. A lovely sky to surround your super tree.
