'Tis the Season: Stampin Up Peaceful Pines card

I have been working on this card all week.  I just don't have enough time on weekdays (after work) to play between dogs, kids and dinner...uh!  I was so inspired but didn't finish in time for all the challenges I intended on joining.

I used this sketch from Sketch Saturday:

Here are details of the card.

Here is my first version.  I made a few refinements that I think improved the card but I wasn't sure of the sentiment, so I am showing you both.  Let me know below which version you like.  I would gladly be inclined to send a little candy to one lucky person who follows and comments.  I will choose someone right before Christmas.

I like the sparkle snowflake behind the sentiment on this one.

Ingredients:

Stampin Up Peaceful Pines stamps and embossing folder

Stampin Up Festival of Trees (sentiment on card #2)

Sizzix Evergreen embossing folder

Versamark ink and Sparkle N Sprinkle tinsel embossing powder

Our Daily Bread Designs stitched rectangle dies

Quick Quotes Plum Crazy chalking ink

scrap papers
