O Christmas Tree

Hello friends.  STILL working on my Christmas stash, and used the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches challenge by DT member Jen B. to help me out.

I did flip the sketch on its side and made it horizontal rather than vertical so I could have room for my sentiment and still keep the card CAS. Here's what I came up with...

I used Gina K's O Christmas Tree stamp set with non-traditional colors to make this bright and fun card.  After stamping both layers of the trees I used Gina's ML#2 dies to cut out the stitched rectangle and the skinny layer beneath and then layered both onto a white card base.

Here's a close up so you can see I used darker turquoise and pink inks for the branches and embossed the middle tree with silver for the branches.  After stamping the sentiment, I finished by adding a Disco Ball sequin to the top of each tree. I love it when an idea that's so quick and simple (in my head) comes out so easily!!

The talented DT has so many awesome cards to inspire you with this sketch, so check it all out right HERE and then play along.  This challenge is open till Monday, Sept. 1st @ 3:00PM.  

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