I really enjoyed making this card! I started with a piece of patterned paper from PinkFresh Studio's Felicity collection. You can't really see it very well on my card, but I used some white gesso behind the trees on the patterned paper to tone it down (originally I was only going to use 1 tree on my design which would have left a lot more of the background showing). I also used Mini Scenery: Multigrain to stamp some light grey ink over the gesso. The wreath was cut using In Bloom: Paulina's Greenery Cutaways. I stamped the large, outline triangle from Scenery: It's a Wonderful Pennant on the peach bird paper 3 times and cut them out. I stamped the tree stem grey card stock. The sentiment is from Merry & Bright with Evelin T. Designs. I added a small bakers twine bow to the center tree, and some small white sequins to the wreath to finish the card. I love making Christmas cards using non traditional colors, how about you?
Thanks so much for stopping by today!
What a totally cute and awesome card! I love the colors and those pretty trees! Thanks for stopping by my blog today - I assumed you'd given up blogging with no more posts from peaceful lane! LOL Sorry, I'm not on instagram - I don't do smart phones as the technology goes way over my head. I'm from the generation that still uses dumb phones :) Hope all is well with you!
