Since Anne so graciously hosted the SCS Inspiration Challenge for me while I was traveling, I wanted to join the fun. My card is inspired by this wonderful wrapping paper by Whimsy called Merry Little Something. I loved how the design combines different shades of green and the dotted trees were so fun.
I also combined this week's Featured Stamper FlowerGal36. My inspiration came from her wonderful Fantastic Fairy card.
All of the papers are from Core'dinations. The background was embossed with the Cuttlebug Christmas Ornament embossing folder and sanded to bring out the color of the core in the cardstock.
I punched several sizes of dots from three different shades of olive cardstock and arranged them to create my tree. I used a Martha Stewart snowflake punch for the top and finished with adhesive pearls and Basic Grey velvet ribbon. I used my Quickie Glue Pen to quickly adhere even the tiniest circles.
How creative and how totally wonderful! Beautiful in fact!
