Peaceful Pines

This is similar to a card (Season's Sketches) I cased years ago.  I think I still have the stamp set, but it retired in 2007.

The new set is called Peaceful Pines in the 2015 Holiday Catalog.

The technique is bleaching!  Be sure to wear old clothes when using the bleach to make this card.
