Normally I try to think outside the box with sketches, but this one just screamed "trees" so I went in search of a die that I got last year but I don't know that I ever used it! So here we go:
I began with a Soft Succulent card base, then I diecut my Memory Box trees in Evening Evergreen and Thick Basic White cardstocks; I added an Adhesive sheet to the back of the white to make it easier to adhere. I found some pretty "tree" paper from Tidings of Christmas in my retired stash, but it was too busy with the diecuts, so I added a layer of vellum to soften it. Here's what it looks like under the vellum:
I adhered my trees to the vellum, added a silver sequin:
And added a couple of horizontal panels, one another piece of the Tidings of Christmas under the vellum, and Basic White on top. The sentiment is from Impression Obsession, stamped in Evening Evergreen:
The die actually cuts three trees, so I adhered the last one to the inside, along with a sentiment from Flonzcraft, a company from New Zealand:
So happy you visited today! Enjoy your day and be blessed!

The die cut trees are a perfect match with this paper, LeAnne! I love the snowy feel the vellum gives the background!
OH, so wintery and cool!

Those tall skinny pines are fantastic! Terrific card, LeAnne!
Your card is perfect!! I love the layer of vellum and the die cuts and DSP work so well together!!
I LOVE this one! Those slender trees are so elegant, the colours are so harmonious and that vellum overlay is genius.
Love your tall trees - I have those dies and need to use them more! Very pretty card. Thanks for playing at FMS this week!
Love how you muted the patterned paper with vellum, and those trees are simply gorgeous!
I love these tall skinny trees!
I love this LeAnne - I have some similar skinny trees and definitely have some of that paper, so I'm going to recreate your card for fun!
