The thing I loved about upstate NY were the beautiful white Birch trees.  I remember one day years ago when I was golfing, that a huge branch fell off one of the trees on the golf course and I remember dragging it off and bringing it home.  My husband sawed it into four pieces and I still have them.  I decorate the fireplace with them every year when we are not using it.  They are still beautiful, and I am so thankful that no one has tried to use them for fire wood.  I would, of course, be crushed if that ever happened and needless to say I would have to hurt the person who did that. LOL

When I first saw this embossing folder, Woodland Textured, page 30 AC, that is what inspired me to design this card with white birch trees.  Although, I suppose you could use it for any type trees just by changing the color.  I brayered the background of the folder with Pacific Point ink which left the trees white.  I used the set Among the Branches, same page, for the sentiment.  That can also be bundled for a 15% off deal.  The little Silver foil ornaments were cut out with the Perfect Pines Framelits, page 16.
