As  I  couldn't  decide  which  season  the  tree  should be in .I  chose to   make  all four.  I  printed  the  season  words on  glossy  paper  . I  wanted the  colours to  be  appropriate  for  the  seasons  but  subtle  ,hence  the pastel  colours  . The  tree  stamp  was  a  freebie  one  and I  stamped it  with  brown  Memento  ink  . I matted   gold  mirri  and  ombre  papers  from Little Claire  designs  which I  debossed woth  an  embossilicious  leaf  folder . The  die  cut  cirdcles  are  from  nesting  circle  dies  and each of the trees  are  decorated with   stickles  and  liquid pearls  . I just had  to  use  the  sentiment  sticker  !!
