A Very Merry Christmas

Here's a calm and cool Christmas card for two challenges. 

First, it's for the Hand Stamped Sentiments#450 here. It's an inspiration challenge and I was inspired by the picture on the bottom left with the blue skies and snowy scene.

This pared well with the Sunday Stamps#347 here. It's a color challenge and I concentrated on the blues with Pool Party, Balmy Blue and Misty Moonlight and added a bit of Calypso Coral. I used those three-color ink pads and blending brushes to create the background and embossed that with the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder. 

Decorative Trees is the stamp set.


Here's my recipe:

Stamps: Decorative Trees

Papers: White, Misty Moonlight, Calypso Coral, Pecan Pie

Inks: Pool Party, Balmy Blue, Misty Moonlight, Calypso Coral, White Craft

Accessories: Ombre Matte Decorative Dots, Decorative Trees dies, Basics WOW! Embossing powders, Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing folder, Blending Brushes, Stampin dimensionals
