I Can't See The Forest For the Trees!

Welcome!

And thank you for whooshing around to another Friday!

I am dashing in quick to try and link up with this week's Less Is More (LIM) challenge of "More Than One Tree." 

If you are a long-time friend of this blog, you know how much I love entering the LIM challenges. So it's been a busy week, what with one thing and another, but never far from my thoughts this refrain kept repeating over and over: morethanonetree, morethanonetree, morethanonetree.

Well, about ten minutes ago Hammy must have tuned into what I was thinking. (We're like an old married couple, you know, and we're often "spousal-deaf" and "can't hear" what the other one is saying!) 

"HELLO!" he bellowed. "Did you or did you not make a morethanonetree card when you were in Minnesota with the BABES? Has it or has it not been sitting right there on your desk waiting to be blogged? If it had teeth, would it or would it not have bitten you on the nose?!"

Don't ever get old.

Thanking the hamster, I present my morethanonetree card:

 

Two is more than one. I didn't want to get too carried away. The SU tree was doubly colored with markers and spritzed with water and stamped onto watercolor paper. The NBUS sediment is unknown since I borrowed it from one of the BABES at the Lake House. BABES?

Here is a close-up to show the sparkly snow that I applied to my trees:

Since I used markers, I am also linking up with the current "Make Your Mark" challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More.

And Festive Friday has just posted their new photo inspiration challenge which  features a beautiful evergreen tree (mirrored in the mirror) with lots of colors~lots of rosy pinks!

The links to the challenges will provide you with information on rules, sponsors, and prizes.

My card is actually another DJKASE. My inspiration for this card came from this absolutely stunning card made by Maarit of Violet's Corner:

I was not even close to achieving the watercolor effect that Maarit so brilliantly managed above, but she was the inspiration for my card. Thank you, Maarit!!

Enjoy your day! No, seriously, enjoy.  LITS!* 

As always, thank you for coming by to visit the Playhouse and special thanks to you if you take the time to leave a comment and/or join as a follower! Please let me know you came by, so I can be sure and return the flavor!
