When my daughter and family lived in Fargo, a tradition was to go to a tree farm near Detroit Lakes, MN and cut down their Christmas tree. Afterwards it was pizza at Zorba's in DL. Now that they're living in TX and Matthew (my grandson) is working in Baltimore, I thought maybe he needed a reminder of all the times they tromped through the cold to find the perfect tree.
I colored the little car and tree with copics and popped it up on the snowbanks - the edges are covered with diamond gel. I put some glitter on the snowflakes and also dots of glossy accents. Finished the top off with some pine boughs and red berries. There is a pocket on the back where I'll tuck some $$ for him.
I am entering this in Inspired by All the Little Things challenge and also Just Add Ink challenge which is to make a gift tag.
Thanks for visiting today and all your kind comments.
