Gorgeous colors .... never would have thought to use this color combination for a Christmas Card - that's why I love these challenges! In early Oct. OWH sent out an email requesting Christmas cards, so I sent the 40 from my personal stash, knowing I had plenty of time to make another 40. As a result, I'm trying to use every challenge possible for new ideas. I didn't do dessert, because this tree is already too fat. I sprayed the Crisp Cantaloupe with glimmer mist before punching. Cut the form for the tree (SB/ChristmasTree) out of white CS, colored with spectrum Noir pens, then glued on MS/branches. Added a crystal star to the top and decorated with lots of gold jewels. Cut the sentiment from Crisp Cantaloupe using I/O Holiday Top Word Edger and covered it with Stickles. Glued everything to a Crumb Cake mat, then onto gold mist (love the shimmer) cut with SB/Valiant Honor then onto Coral mat, then base. Finished with gold jewels in the corners. The shimmer mist and the stickles change the appearance of the Cantaloupe, in the photo, because of the reflection from the sun - not so much IRL.

Wow - all those little pine branches - how my wrist aches for you. Wonderful colour combinations. Lots of fiddly work - but it really pays of in this spectacular card.

Fabulous and creative, Priscilla, making your tree from the MS fern punch. Love its chubby stature and the little rhinestones placed randomly. A beautiful Christmas card.

WOW do I love what you did with those colors! It's so refreshing to see a Christmas tree in non traditional colors. What a wonderful take on the challenge and you must work at the speed of light. If 40 more cards at this point in time is no problem, I need lessons SO bad!!
