The white tree was what I noticed first with the inspiration photo and then the warmth from the brown wood. I think the colours of the sky look very rustic, so hoping this card qualifies.
I made a quick, clean and simple card using a wonderful die-cut paired with a Floating Alcohol Ink background. The sentiment was stamped in brown ink to finish the card.
Here's a close-up ...

Loll, your sky is beautiful - what a wonderful blend of colours! I think they are quite rustic-looking, and the trees go perfectly with the white tree in the inspiration photo.
Very rustic sky indeed Loll....The white die cut trees look crisp and fabulous against it. Loving the sentiment stamped in the brown too x.
So beautiful with the crisp white trees in frame, Loll. Just love the AI background too! So glad you could join us at our last Merry Monday!!
What perfectly colored background for this tree die. Love the swirls of browns and blues with the crisp white trees! So beautiful. TFS & Hugs
What a beautiful rustic background, Loll! It's so perfect for this fabulous stand of trees!
Great interpretation of the pic Loll, the background colours are gorgeous against the white trees, Cathy x
Gorgeous background for your white pines. Thanks for always including a link to the technique too. I know you've used this before but it's always nice to have the link as a reminder to try this.
Wow, I believe you conquered rustic Loll! This is one stunning rustic looking card! I love that background and those beautiful crisp white trees on it. Love that stitched border around the opening too. Is that part of the tree die?? The white trees look so stunning against the sky you have created, or the sky looks so stunning up against the white trees-not sure which. I only know I love it! So Merry Monday is going away?? Sad for a lot of people I'm sure. Hugs, Brenda

That blue and brown ink combo looks so good and gives you that rustic feel!
What a gorgeous background .... love the rustic colours, they really make the white pop! It's a shame about the Merry Monday challenge. I haven't managed to play along for a while but I do always check out the themes and entries for inspiration ...... they'll be missed xx
Beautiful card, Loll. I love the background colours and pretty trees.
It's always wonderful to be ahead of making Christmas cards and this is a great way to do it. This is a rustic looking background and lovely for the sky above the white trees. Anyone will be thrilled to get this card.
