Festival of Trees for CCMC327

It's Thursday and time for the new challenge from Create with Connie and Mary.  This week we have a great sketch to work with.

I always love the sketches with unusual angles, they are extra fun!  I have been on a Festival of Trees kick, so I went with it for today's card.

Talk about lots of patterns!  I went crazy with the Trim the Tree Designer Series Paper Stack on this card!

I started out with a Garden Green card base embossed with the On Point embossing folder.  Then the madness begins with lots of patterns of designer paper.  First layer is the trees angled to the side.  Next, a more muted layer of snowflakes, then a plaid oval.  The tree is kept fairly plain and simple.  It's stamped on Whisper White with Garden Green and has a gold glimmer star on top.  The finishing touches are a trio of small gold stars and a simple sentiment.

I hope you will join the challenge this week and make a card of your own!  Just go to Create with Connie and Mary for all the details plus more great samples from the Design Team.  You can also find more details about the Holiday Collection which is going strong in week three right now.  It's not to late to subscribe and join in the fun!



Thanks for visiting!  Happy stamping!
