The Distress Oxides are faded jeans, broken china & rustic wilderness. I added a touch of gray to the trees with a small, wet brush & the ink from a Zig. I added white gauche splatters for snow & used a Gelly Roll Clear Star pen for sparkly dots. The Memory Box Merry die cut was triple white embossed & then I added a final layer of Hero Arts Sparkle ep. 
The little sentiment from PTI Botanical Blocks IV was stamped in Enchanted Evening & attached with foam tape. The mat is Enchanted Evening cardstock. Hubby really liked his card & said "You should enter this one in a contest." Just so happens I'm entering the December Memory Box Challenge: Trees & SSS Monday via IG.
Next is the Valentine I made for hubby, thanks to the ITP PTI Challenge. I've been wanting to use ITP Nifty Plaid & thought it'd be great for a masculine card. 
I stamped in Pure Poppy on a white panel that I bordered with a black scrap. I stamped a small heart from Heart 2 Heart #2 in 3 open areas after figuring out where I wanted the word from Wonderful Words: Friends & the Love die cut. I used some of my overflowing white scraps to die cut Love twice & then triple white embossed it for a smooth, shiny surface. I'm also entering SSS Monday & The Snippets Playground.
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.
Hope you had a peaceful Christmas and we all pray together that 2021 will be a safer year for everyone.
