I popped it up on my snow embossed base card and added the stump from would grain paper. I just love this clean, simple and graphic Christmas card.

Here is a video tutorial on how I made this card.
I laid out the sentiments to create a rough triangle shape with my MISTI.
I stamped and in embossed with white ink and embossing powder on watercolor paper. I took masking tape and masked out a triangle shape.
I gathered a variety of shades of green distress markers.
Using the distress markers I shaded the "tree" and with my waterbrush I spread the inks into each other to create an ombre look.
I then cut the "tree" out.
I hope you are inspired by my card and enjoyed the tutorial. The designers and I are having so much fun playing with out HLS stamps. Please hop on over to the amazing Anita Bowden's blog!!!
