SPCC #129 - Celebrate the Season

Welcome back! This week's color combo from SPCC helped me get yet another Christmas card completed and out of the way :) Gotta like it when that happens. Like I've mentioned in past posts, I am attempting to make all my Design Team commitment cards into Christmas cards (no matter what the challenge/color is) and so far, so good!!! Here's Samantha's color palette for the week:


For my card, I inked up Ornamental Trees from SP & Co. in Chocolate Chip ink and stamped them on Pool Party then cut them out and "popped up" the middle tree with dimensionals. I wanted to make the background look as if it was snowing behind the trees, so I used Swiss Dots embossing folder for that effect...The sentiment is from Cutest Gingerbread Man (also an SP & Co. stamp set).


I am entering my card into the following challenges:

Raise The Bar - It's Beginning to Look a lot like Christmas
2 Sisters - Punches/Dies
CropStop: Punching your way around the holidays
Stamp, Scrap & Doodle: Holiday card
Secret Crafter: Inspiration Photo (I took the tree theme!)

    Whoa! I love the damask look of these trees. You can do sooo much with them! They look good in blue and brown, and with the middle guy raised up. Very pretty, Lori!
