This is my second post for today. If you are looking for my ColourQ post, please click here.
Hello and happy Tuesday. Time for another challenge at CASology. This week, our cue word is TREE. Even though we don't celebrate Christmas in my family, my mind still went right to a Christmas tree for this cue word. How about an entire forest of Christmas trees in fun and funky colors?
I wanted to have a snowy scene on my card front, and could not locate my snow stencil. I started to doubt myself--maybe I just wanted that stencil but never ordered it? Anyway, I could not find it, but found a falling hearts stencil and used that instead. That is the truth--I could just say that I wanted to have snow shaped like falling hearts.....
Anyway, then I die cut and stamped several trees from PTI Joyful Christmas and arranged them underneath my snowy hearts.
Please head on over to the CASology blog and gather some inspiration from the design team.
We are sponsored this week by Stamplorations.
I am also linking this card up at the following challenges: Just Add Ink #291: Just Add 'C' (Christmas); Simon Says Monday Holly Jolly Stamping; Simon Says Wednesday Let it Snow; The Paper Players #274 Let it Snow; and AAA Cards #54 Christmas.
Love the whimsical look of the colourful trees!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a happy looking card, Joyce! I think heart shaped snow would be divine!!! We don't celebrate Christmas either, but this time of year, holiday cards are often on my crafty mind! ;) These trees remind me of some little trees I purchased recently for photo props! Mine are simply green with a touch of snow though. :)
ReplyDeleteJoyce your bottle brush tress look fantastic in all those colours!! Hmm maybe that set will go into my cart since I haven't used my gc yet! ;) I think that heart shaped snow is pretty awesome!
ReplyDeleteI think your falling hearts are fabulous, and I love all the funky colors you chose for your bottle brush trees...such a sweet card, Joyce!
