Beautiful Trees

I started my day today with a brisk walk on Te Mata Peak.  It was easier going down than up, but thanks for the push, Belinda.  What a wonderful way to enjoy some warm wind on my face.  I felt quite refreshed after that. My dog loves me so much more when she gets to enjoy some free walking.  Popping up onto a flat rise I felt so blessed to be able to enjoy the beautiful views over the area.  What a perfect creation. 

Today's post is a card my daughter made for my husband to give me on my birthday.  I love the way she will look at a stamp set so differently than I do.  She keeps her use of stamps simple and crisp and I just love this card.  "Lovely as a Tree" is a very versatile stamp set.  With a little sponging and layering, a clear rhinestone brad and a background stamp you can see what she has created.  One very special card filled with love.

She has captured that extra bit of detail by using 2-way glue and dazzling diamonds on the trees.  What a perfect finish.  Love that stuff.
