The colour challenge which the DT at
52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown have for you this week definitely pushed me out of my comfort zone. Nothing difficult about it - Green, brown, cream and metallic gold but for me it's a combination which I don't often use, although don't those golden acorns look gorgeous?
I am sure that lots of you will be able to create something fabulous with these. My card features Lovely As A Tree, stamped and embossed in gold and then stamped again in green onto cream card stock. I have constructed a double frame around the stamped image with some retired DSP Christmas Wishes, I think and added some stars and large green pearls at the corners. The finishing touch is a double bow with some wide organza gold star dotted ribbon, topped with a smaller bow from Chocolate Chip scalloped edge ribbon.
So pretty, Louise!!! I LOVE the beautiful tree images--and your bows are fabulous! LOVE these! :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a very elegant trio of trees Louise and that frame around them is awesome! hugs D
