Trees for Sale Christmas card

Hello and welcome to my blog. The weather has been absolutely roasting today. I am hoping that making another Christmas card using a cool colour scheme and thinking about snow will help me to forget the heat for a while!

My inspiration today comes from a Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

The window in front of my crafting table looks out onto my garden and I have a good view of the string of solar powered fairy lights. They hang up all year round, not just at Christmas, and light up as the daylight fades. They were from a budget friendly shop, but I would happily have paid more for them because they make me smile each time they light up. The lights in the Trees for Sale set make me smile too - especially as you can cut them out with the Tree Lot dies that are available for during Sale-A-Bration! More smiling!

My colour scheme evolved as I was creating my card leaving one main colour and the trees. Starry Sky became the star of the show; the background is ombre glimmer paper layered onto matching card and the die cut label comes from the Scalloped Contours set. The trees are stamped using Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen onto Basic White card, which I have also used for the layering rectangle and the fairy lights (one in Starry Sky, the other in Evening Evergreen). The Brick & Mortar band is also Basic White.

For sparkle I've added Iridescent Rhinestones, which work brilliantly over every colour you pair them with, and some Wink of Stella on the fairy lights.

I've had fun creating this card and I'm happy that I've added one more Christmas card to my collection, but alas I am not feeling any cooler!
