    Credits: Snowman clip art by Trina - I recolored the background pink to match the card. Based on a card by Susan neal in Holiday Cards magazine

    Technique: I opened a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" image in my graphics program (you can also do this in Word). I opened WilliamChristmas3 dingbat font, and typed the letter "x" which gave me the Christmas trees in an uneven pattern on my image. I then printed the trees onto medium green cardstock. Do a test piece first to see how dark of a color to use so the trees look like Versamark. This card didn't scan well - the background is greener, and the trees are less prominent.
