It’s all about the paper (ok…and the adorable little fish….) with this card. How can you go wrong with fun designer paper that has little pine trees all over it….and plaid pine trees at that?! Two of my favorite things! When I think of pine trees I think of the Minnesota Homeland and our family property in Canada. I can’t wait to get back there. Oh….as you read this I AM in the Minnesota Homeland hanging with my mom and dad. I’ll be here for a week before hubby joins me and we head up to the cabin. Woo Hoo! I’m excited to hopefully spend some time in the upper midwest!
This card really came together once I was inspired Anne Marie’s card. She hit the trifecta on her card. Plaid trees on the paper, plaid ribbon and the little fishies! The fish were what first caught my eye! They’re so cute!
I wanted to incorporate the fish on my card without completely copying Anne Marie’s card but I just couldn’t make it work so I decided to go with the Pine Tree Punch. Did you notice that I ran the punched tree through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder? This really gave it a nice texture.
This color combination of black, white and Garden Green is very striking. I’m not sure I’ve used it before. Hope about you?

I’m pleased with the way my card turned out. Guess what? You could use it for lots of occasions including Christmas! Hmm….
Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!
