FFC11

Welcome to another Festive Friday challenge. Summer weather has finally arrived and I've been sidetracked lately by outdoor projects, so haven't had much time for crafting or blogging, but I didn't want to miss this challenge! I don't think I've missed a Festive Friday yet, and am thrilled that I'm still on track to be ready for Christmas without the last minute scramble this year.

This is an element challenge to create a holiday project that includes at least one tree. This tree is one of my favourite Christmas stamps, so it was an easy choice to use as my focal point. I wanted to stamp it in grey, but soft stone from PTI was too light, and smoky shadow looked almost black, which did not match the picture I had in my mind. I tried bordering blue from SU. It's really more grey than blue, especially paired with white and silver. and is about the right shade so that was the winning combo.

I added some glitter and rhinestones to make the tree sparkle since the rest of the card is fairly simple. I'm not going to throw away that smoky shadow tree though! I think I can salvage it if I bling it up a little so it looks less stark, and find the right color combo to showcase it.

Thanks for stopping by,
T
