Stampin' Up! Whimsical Trees Christmas Card

Happy Tuesday, peeps! My card today was made for the Paper Players Challenge PP555 - Sketch from Laurie. With permission, I CASE'd Ann Schach's beautiful card. She is a member of the Design Team and I hope I did her proud.


If you click on the blue link above, you'll be able to view her card, along with the other DT's and participants in the challenge or you can click on the sketch.

My card is different from Ann's in that I used a different pattern from the Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper for the card front, Champagne Foil (retired) for the mat behind the DSP, Champagne Foil for the piece behind the Wonderful Snowflake, Checks & Dots embossing folder for that foil and I sponged the "Joy" banner from the Whimsical Trees. I also did not add the holly or sequins. I colored three Pearl Basic Jewels with my Dark Mint Macaron Stampin' Blends and adhered them. I really wanted to totally copy Ann's card but then I wouldn't have been able to enter it in the challenge!

I'm also entering my card at Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge #556 with the optional theme of "for a lady or a girl" and Christmas Craft Creations: August Challenge - Non-Traditional Colours

I do hope you have time to stop by the challenges today and I thank you for stopping here!

  2. Oh, Karen! You definitely made me proud! I love how you used the holly paper for the background panel. The Mint Macaron pearls are a wonderful accent. It was fun seeing the changes you made! I am so glad you joined as at The Paper Players this week!
