Peaceful Forest

 Challenge #130 has just gone live at The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge and here is my DT card! My team mates have created some wonderfully inspiring Christmas cards so be sure to pop over and check them out!

I love tartan at Christmas time - it makes me feel cozy and festive at the same time!   I came across this particular tartan for the first time on my very first trip to Scotland and I instantly fell in love with it!  I returned to Australia with a rug, a skirt and a shawl in Lindsay tartan!  So you can imagine my delight at finding a 12x12 pad which contained several sheets of Lindsay tartan.  This sheet had a thread of gold running through it so I thought some gold mirri-card would be perfect.  I cut all three fir trees from this Alexandra Renke die set and used the inner and outer pieces to populate a little forest (plus another tree from a previous project).

The Peace sentiment is from this Reverse Confetti Winter Word set and I added a little gold star for good measure.

I'd like to enter my card in the following challenges

Fly Me to the Moon

It's time for another challenge at 613 Avenue Create!  This month, the optional twist is 

Up In The Sky 

so we'd like to see the Sun, the Moon, Stars, Sleighs, Angels, Clouds, etc.!   But it's only optional and we do love to see your projects!

 

I've gone with a rocket ship blasting off for the moon - it was actually a special request for an astrophysicist from his wife for his birthday but it could easily work for an anniversary or other significant celebration!

I have a stamp of a rocket in an old WMS set (Lil' Heroes) but the rocket image was too juvenile for him but I did use one of the sentiments from the set.  Plus, she really wanted an interactive card so I really needed to go the die route ... which I don't have so I needed to hit the Silhouette Store and see what they had available and create one digitally.

Here's a closeup of my little rocket.  Some of the pieces were tiny - the whole rocket is less than 2" long!  Anyway I managed to put them all together without losing any pieces and with a coat or two (or three) of glossy accents it was ready for blast off!

And here's a short video of the rocket in motion - flying between the earth and the moon!
