Two totally different look but they are both beautiful, Maria! You are genius and my inspiration, girlfriend!
Thanks for the great tip about dabbing the brown ink onto the pine cones image using a dauber.!

WOW!! Both cards are wonderful, but those realistic pine boughs and pinecones really won me over! They look so real I think I can almost smell the pine scent! Gorgeous work!!!
