I love this card – simple, quick but effective (my favourite kind to make).  The tree is heat embossed with silver embossing powder, and when you do this on a dark cardstock, it really "pops".  The card base is Bordering Blue (one of the retiring colours) and Night of Navy completes the monochromatic look.

This was one of the cards we made for the Tansley Crop Circle / Tansley Cares Network event last Saturday.  It was a lot of fun & fellowship as almost twenty people particpated.  I was honoured to have been a part of this event.  Participants got to keep two cards and donated the other two to the Tansley Cares Network, who in turn send cards and notes to Tansley United Church members who are celebrating significant events or are needing some support.

Just a reminder NOT to wait if you were needing supplies in the retiring colours (like Bordering Blue!) – there's already backorders occuring and it looks like demand could outstrip supply!  The best bet is to place your online order HERE – you can complete it immediately and breathe a sigh of relief LOL.
