Pines Thank You

I am a little late with the thank you cards, but this one is for my SIL's BF who took us out on New Years Eve. It was a nice evening. Quiet for the most part. I know that I have never liked to go places on New Years Eve. I get nervous about traveling, and then you never know some person who might of had a little too much to drink could be out there. Paranoid? Maybe, but I'd rather not take the chance.

Anyway, there I go again ~ ramblin on. Now to the card.

It was pretty simple for the most part. I used Handsome Hunter, Chocolate Chip and a gold peice that was in my stash for the card. The gold peice I used my Heidi Swap Edge Distresser. I stamped the trees, pine needles and pinecones from SU! DD Pines set. A set that I've had and just never really used. I wanted this card to be a little "manly" since it was for a man.

The trees were stamped in Handsome Hunter, the pines were stamped in Garden Green and the pinecones in Close to Cocoa. There were some "bare" spots left so I sponged the Garden green around the pine needles and some Close to Cocoa around the pinecones ~ just to fill it in a bit.

For the sentiment I stamped the Thank You from Many Thanks with my Encore Gold. To seperate the word I used my stamp-a-ma-jig. I was a little disappointed when the sentiment did not show up too well, my pads a little dry. But once again, it's for a guy and I don't think he'll really care too much.

I'm off to create more. I'm a little late today, I overslept. Woo-Hoo I did not have to take hubby to work today....
