Framed

A little gift for my godchild. 

 I painted the frame to look like a Birch tree.

A closer view of the texture on the frame.

Hope all is well in your neck of the woods.

I did not know that orchid was the color for 2014 when I made these

Xmas cards.   

 These trees were cut out of kleenex boxes.  At first I thought I would cut out EACH individual

mosaic stone,,,,well, after I cut out a few I quickly changed my mind and just cut out the 

shapes of a trees.

  The scraps after all that cutting.....or a big mess......

but after much painting, splashing and tearing it made me a nice stash of Xmas cards.

Here is a link for Pantone too.

The color of the year for 2013 was emerald green and for 2012 was tangerine tango.
