The background for this card was made using a watercolour wash technique. This is one of my favourite backgrounds to make! It's quick, beautiful, and you get a different result every time! (I made a similar card using Blending Brushes for the background recently.) See the full directions for this card below.

I made the fire with some scraps of cardstock and glimmer paper. I used Splendid Stems Dies for the flames, but you could just cut them out with scissors. The logs were cut with the Tree Lot Dies.

This doesn't show well in the photo, but the detailed upper layer of the trees
has been painted with Wink of Stella to give them some shimmer.

The trailer and trees (which I painted with Wink of Stella) are die cut with the Tree Lot Dies, and then assembled.

Full Directions for My Tree Lot Dies Thank You Card:

1. Cut the following layers:
• Orchid Oasis cardstock: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored at 4-1/4"
• Shimmery White cardstock: 5" x 3-3/4"
• Starry Sky cardstock: 5-5/16" x 3-7/8" 
• Granny Apple Green cardstock: 5-1/8" x 3-3/4" (or cut a frame using the largest two dies from Stitched Rectangles Dies)
• Basic White cardstock: 5" x 1-1/4" (cut or tear for snowbank); 5" x 2" (for detailed and background trees)
• Basic Black cardstock: 1/2" x 1/2" (for tire)
• Silver Foil 12" x 12" Specialty Pack: 2-1/2" x 1-1/2" (die cut trailer pieces, trailer rim, and hitch)
• Neutrals 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper: 2-3/4" x 2" (die cut main part of trailer)
• scraps of gold glimmer paper, Soft Saffron, Calypso Coral, and Soft Suede cardstock--for fire; die cut Soft Suede with 3 logs die 
2. Spritz the back of the Shimmery White layer with water a few times (this minimizes curling), and the front generously. Dab ink refill drops (Granny Apple Green, Pacific Point, Orchid Oasis and Starry Sky), starting at the bottom with the lightest colours, adding to the wet paper with a Water Painter, and letting the ink blend on its own. Dab the excess puddles with a paper towel. Allow the cardstock to dry completely.
3. Stamp the sentiment (using Grassy Grove stamp set) with Memento ink.
4. Use a Sponge Dauber to add Pool Party ink to the top edge of the snowbank (and to the edge of the hill, if desired). Adhere the snowbank to the Shimmery White layer with Seal.
5. Paint the detailed trees with Wink of Stella to give them some shine. Then adhere them to the tree background layer. Add to the snowbank, adding the smaller tree with a Dimensional.
6. Adhere the Shimmery White layer to the Starry Sky layer, and then add the Granny Apple Green frame.
7. Adhere the card front to the Orchid Oasis card base.
8. Make the fire with the scraps, adding the die cut logs, and adhere to the card front.
