Winter Wonderland - Oh Christmas Tree!

There's another new challenge blog called Winter Wonderland that's well worth a visit. Their first challenge is the theme of "Oh Christmas Tree" so whilst I was hiding from the strong rays of Mr Sunshine this morning I came up with this card:-


Background paper is from one of the Christmas Collections by Basic Grey (possibly Fruitcake but I'm not sure) mounted onto Brown Bazzill. Trees are cut from Daisy Bucket's "Mistletoe Kisses" paper and mounted onto some Red Bazzill. I cut some thin strips of brown card and criss crossed them over the card and then used micro beads, flower soft and stickles to create a snowy element. Sentiment created using my Dymo LetraTag and the stars from my sewing stash. Before I mounted the main image onto the card I used the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots Border Folder on each side as I thought it needed something just to "lift" the card.

A lovely way to prepare for Christmas!!
