I'm in full on Christmas card mode at the minute - no matter what the challenge at the moment I seem to be drawn to Christmas and in particular Christmas trees. For this card, I've combined 3 challenges - firstly this week's CASual Friday which is to use kraft card http://cas-ualfridays.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/cfc76.html and combined that with this week's ISpy sketch http://ispysketches.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/issc39-with-maureen-plut.html and the die cut embelishment challenge at 52CCT http://52cct.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/october-embellishment-challenge.html
I used a square kraft base card with a darker kraft panel on top which was embossed with a falling snowflake embossing folder. I coloured the raised flakes with a white gel pen. The sentiment strip is washi tape. I then used a hero arts die cut tree in 2 sizes to cut my trees from a variety of materials - cork, wood veneer, spotted kraft paper and more plain kraft which I covered with brown flock and brown glitter.
Wow! Tara this is fabulous. Love the colours against the kraft.
