Peace On Earth Challenge #10

Hello friends.  Playing along with the Peace On Earth Christmas Challenge and trying to keep ahead of the mad rush to make all my Christmas cards before December hits.  (It really does come a LOT quicker than you think!!)  The gals have another fabulous mood board to inspire us this time around:


I was inspired by a little bit of all these photos with the greenery and the Christmas Tree farms, and came up with this card using PTI's Farm Fresh Trees stamp and die set.


I have SO many Christmas stamps and dies and end up using most of them only once or twice, but I have a feeling this newer to me set is going to become a staple in my collection, and one that I'll reach for over and over again!!  


I did end up using two other PTI sets for this card: Sprigs & Sprays: Holiday and Feathered Friends #2.  I love how everything worked together to make this such a rustic looking card!


Check out all the FABULOUS inspiration from the talented DT over at the Peace On Earth Christmas card challenge and then play along to stay ahead of the mad rush in December...you'll be so glad you did!  This challenge is open till March 3rd at 8PM.

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

I adore this card, Marcia! The rustic, farmhouse look, the grays and greens and that sweet little bird are perfectly delightful.

Every little element flows together beautifully, Marcia! I can see why you love this set. The Sprigs and Sprays set goes with it perfectly (it's a new favorite of mine!). Marvelous card, my friend!

What a wonderful rustic themed card, Marcia! I love the way you laid out the sprigs of greenery with the bird perched on it, and the potted tree behind his tail. Great subdued colours and a wonderful background.
