Five Green Trees

Just about managing this by the skin of my teeth! The Christmas Cards All Year Round challenge for October is to make 5 cards using a punch or die plus a colour theme to include at least one colour considered to be Halloween - green, orange, black or purple.


I've gone with the green theme! The very glittery fancy trees are actually Christmas tree decorations from The Range and I've glued (hopefully well!) onto a Nesties cut scalloped circle of some green angel hair like stuff (it originally was wrapped around a bunch of flowers).

I've also added a snowflake die plus gems and doodled a line around the edge of the card.

I've used the current sketch from Kathy's Waffle Sketch File (great sketch!) and would also like to enter the following challenges:

Bah Humbug: Die Cuts
Charisma Cardz: Anything Goes
Crafty Purple Frog: Sparkle
Meljen's Designs: Christmas
  • Embellishments: The Range
  • Dies: Spellbinder Nestablities, Sizzix Snowflakes
  • Everything else: My stash

    Lovely cards Ruth. I thought the trees were some sparkly dough or some kind of clay... very sweet.
