Combining four challenges in this card! Misti's VSN A Charlie Brown Christmas challenge calls for trees. Polly's Mix challenge Texting is to create a bg from text. This cute car with a tree on top from Julie's IC Christmas Central challenge, reminded me of a stamp I bought this summer, which fits Wendy's Free for all Love Your Stamps challenge.
The bg is a very restrained attempt at Polly's Texting challenge. I stamped and printed Christmas songs, stories, and verses on text weight, cut into strips and adhered to white cs. Framed some of the panels with washi tape. Die cut the trees and ornament from music sheets. Sponged the trees with greens. Stamped, colored and fussy cut the station wagon and tree, adhered to ornament, sprayed with pearl shimmer spray. Blotted the trees in the spray to mimic snow. Dry embossed the red panel and assembled the layers on a white card base. TFL
