This is my shape card turned into a rectangle  A-2 card. 
Tip for the Day:  I find that using 65 or 80# card stock allows a deeper impression when embossing and is easier obtain a clean cut from my die plates.  I have not pleased with the results when using 120# cad stock.

    Fabulous image and background. I like it both ways shaped and the A2 version. Thanks for the great tip for embossing. I'll add that to my tip and trick notebook. Wishing you the best today.

    This is just gorgeous. Every time I see one of your cards, I am more convinced of the artistic importance of the background. This one is a true work of art. Love it!

    Marie, So stunning... Do not be so cheep on your snow, it looks fantastic but you need more... You used the same die cut I did... Background amazing love how it gives the effect of branches coming from the side.
