KWerner Color Challenge #33

Hmmmm - I really wasn't very sure about these colours - not my cup of tea at all!!! However, what is a challenge if it doesn't challenge you - LOL. I decided to add to the difficulty by making a non-traditional Christmas card - maybe because I'm working too many extra days at the moment and am running waaaaayyyyy behind with my own Christmas cards - how embarrassing!!!!!! I was sitting staring at the 5 cardstock colours trying to get inspired when my son walked up and together we put this card together - I think most of the enjoyment I got from finishing the challenge came from doing it with my son......and here it is.

I stamped the large tree from the Lovely as a Tree set (a major fave of mine) in Versamark onto Whisper White and then used clear EP. I then sponged Pumpkin Pie onto the top part after masking the bottom with a post-it note. The area at the bottom of the tree was then sponged in Chocolate Chip. I removed the mask and then repositioned to make some snow hills with a light sponging of Chocolate Chip. The sentiment is from Warm Words. I was really lucky to discover some Teal rhinestones in my bling box to decorate the tree - and a sneaky gold star finished off the top (my son kept telling me to take the star off as gold wasn't a challenge colour - oh well). The Certainly Celery layer was "Cuttlebugged" using the Swiss Dots folder, and then I ran the Chocolate Chip sponge gently over the raised spots to add definition. To finish off I roughened the edge of the stamped card, drew on some snow with my white gel pen, added a piece of Taken with Teal CS and a Chocolate Chip grosgrain bow.

Hope you like it!
