Trendy Tree Tops Happy Birthday

Today I have my first card made with my new PTI Trendy Tree Top set. 
This card is for my uncle, so I used the most masculine colors I could think of, kraft, smokey shadow, soft stone and rustic cream.   Although I have the stamp set, this card was made using only the matching dies.  I didn't have to stamp anything except the sentiment.  The rolling hills are embossed with a SU square lattice embossing folder and the sentiment is from Think Big Favorites #12.   It is a super easy card to make and a lot of fun to arrange those cute tree tops.

Nicely done. I love that this masculine card is so textural too. The embossed hills and the choice cuts of DP are so handsome. A great guy card with a difference.

What an amazing card. I love how you have turned those trees into a masculine card--great colors. How smart to texture those rolling hills--I'm glad I already have that embossing folder.

I think TT will be a VERY versatile set and you just showed how when you used patterns for the tree tops. I love love the pattern choices here. Very masculine indeed!
