Crazies Challenge 28 -- Masculine

Our sponsor for the first two weeks this month is DRS Designs.  I am truly having some fun with this trio of trees image I received from them.  It is so versatile and today I used it for the Crazies Challenge which was to make a masculine card.  I decided to make a holiday card with a masculine slant as I am trying to slowly 'grow' my 2010 stash.

I CB/d the back ground with a snowflake embossing folder, did some piercing with my SU piercing tool/kit,  used both a large SU snowflake punch and a smalle MS snowflake punch along with a brad to make my snowflake, my oval punch for the sentiment, and lots of sponging.....something I am still trying to perfect.  I am a bit of an uneven sponger......wish I could smooth that out!!!
