I fell in love with the new Brush Tree Line image. I love making moonlight snowy scene Christmas cards. This new image is just perfect. Check out my Winter Moonlight Snow Scene tutorial if you would like to see the steps I used to make my card.
Another favorite technique of mine is framing my scene. Everything seems to go better with a frame. LOL! I also love popping them up with mounting tape. I should buy stock in it.
Another favorite thing of mine is adding pine branches to my framed holiday cards. I chose to keep this all white so the blue night scene would pop. I love the texture of the white branches and how they add to the project without taking over the show.
Here’s a closer view of the pine spray.

So peaceful and beautiful. Love all the blue with the white moon. Edna
Very pretty! I have the pine branch die but can not get it to cut correctly, & I’ve tried several things, but no luck. Any suggestions?
Such a pretty card. I like the addition of the white pine spray. That’s perfect!!
Love the card! Your background really sets off the stamp and of course your framing makes it look so elegant!

Your card is simply beautiful! I love the moonlit background for the little row of trees and the frame and pine spray on the front set the whole scene off so perfectly. You technique with the layers and depth on your cards is just amazing.
Thank you so much for sharing your pretty designs! I am never disappointed when I stop by to see your work. 🙂
Kittie, I always love your scenery cards. This one is no exception. 😉 I love scene’s for Christmas cards too. I have two or three different tree stamps. But none are this small.
I might ‘have’ to have another! Thanks for sharing, and for the chance to win too.

Wow!!! Quite stunning!!! Love how you cut the wreath to make that lovely full bow embellishment! You created a beautiful scene!
Love any tree scenes and this card is just gorgeous. Silent Night is my thought, or Winter Wonderland.

You do moonlight scenes so well. This one kind of envelops you. Lovely.

I love all your cards with the “frames” and this one is exceptional. Those Brush Trees are wonderful!
Kittie,
The Brush Tree line set is beautiful. What you created with it, is truly serene. The framing really does en nance the scene.

Aww Kittie, you make the most beautiful scenes! TFS
Just beautiful, Kitty! I’m partial to pines in snow, and your blues and whites took me over the top! That pine branch die is the perfect addition!
Love that you stamped the Brush Tree Line stamp in blue – how beautiful for a winter night. Always love your cards.
This is gorgeous Kittie!
WONDERFULL
This card is just beautiful. As always, love the colors and the delicate branches on the bow. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful card as all your cards! Your shading is right on, and love the scene. Love the way you layered the frames and added the pine and bow. You are a very talented lady.
beautiful card Kitty..super stamp and you used it magnificently as always..love how you grounded the trees with the shadow.
Gorgeous cards! I’m always drawn to stamps/cards with trees. The framed scene is fabulous.
Simply stunning!
Gorgeous card and scene that you created
Incredibly beautiful… the clean design, including the frame, shows off the scene to perfection. It helps that the stamp is lovely too…
Oops pressed the button before I was ready… It’s Craftyfield not Craftyfiels!
oh Kittie, this is absolutely stunninng…. I so loved this idea… thank you for sharing your creativity…..
Lovely, as always, Kittie! Your sky in this one is different than the one in the tutorial, so I’m curious how you did it. I really like the “speckled” effect on this one so I wondered if you did it with sponging (maybe pouncing the sponge?) or, if you possibly used an ink spray or spritzer of some sort to get your speckled look??? I can never get even speckles when I use those ink sprays so if that’s what you used and you have any techniques that might help, I’d love to hear them!! 🙂 That new tree stamp really makes a perfect scene!
This blue and white snow scape is gorgeous. I love the blue shadows and the bow with the white pine branches.
Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous! Love the frame and the scene and the textures! It’s just picture perfect!
beautifully soft and serene and the framing is perfect!
Gorgeous trees and perfect use of them!
Wow, beautiful & elegant design. The blue inking & moon behind the trees is gorgeous and so is the frame. Love the use of the die cuts behind the bow… fabulous!
Beautiful, as always! I so enjoy looking all of the intricate pieces that you use to create a story. Your details are just stunning.
Great new winter stamp and as always you’ve made a gorgeous creation with it! warm greet Miranda
Beautiful scene – love the frame and die cut branches – they are a perfect touch!!
Lovely card, Kittie. And the all white card really pops the blue scene. The frame and pine boughs are a perfect touch.
What a lovely card. You can just feel the moonlight bathing the trees. Great idea to do the pine branches in white. It adds a nice touch.
I can hear the crunching layer of ice covering the snow as we walk through the scene. Wow, amazing Kittie!!!!
