Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
Recently I saw this tree on Susan's card and though I'm on a spending freeze,
it came to reside in my Christmas collection.
I thought it would be perfect for a Black and Red Challenge.
The tree was stamped and embossed. The shine gives the photo a bit of a gray look.
I assure you it is very black and shiny.
Challenges:
Color Hues #98 - Red & Black
Krafty Chicks #740 - ATG
NBUS #68 - Never Before Used Schtuff

Enjoy!
