Here is my project for The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge #143! Yes, another fortnight has passed and we're now past the half way point to Christmas! With the heat wave we're experiencing, it's difficult to focus on Christmas cards - actually it's difficult to focus on anything!
I've used a couple of NBUS items in this card - the background embossing folder (Craft Sensations), the Pines (Memory Box Narrow Pines) and sentiment (Poppy Proper Merry Christmas) so I'd like to enter NBUS Challenge #51.
I specifically chose the yellow and green colour combination so I could enter Color Hues Challenge #66!
I embossed the background so I could enter Inspirational Challenge #292!
I'd also like to enter the following challenges
As You Like It Challenge - favourite non birthday Occasion.
Christmas is definitely my favourite reason to send a card (it's a great way to remind friends and family all over the world that they still mean a great deal to me even though I've not been the best of correspondents);
The 12 Months of Christmas Challenge #101 - Inspired by a Christmas Song (O Christmas Tree);
Krafty Chicks Challenge #669 - All Occasions
Peace on Earth Challenge #52 - Anything Christmas Goes
ABC Christmas Challenge - L is for Layers (the Pines are 3 levels if you include the bottom layer is stacked plus the stars, plus the embossed background);
Sparkles Christmas Challenge #149 - Trees.
Thanks for stopping by, I hope you go away a little inspired! Your visits and comments are always a joy and always appreciated! And if you leave a comment, I’ll know you were here and how to find you!

Just beautiful, Kate - LOVE these lovely trees, so pretty with multiple greens! That background is gorgeous, too - and very playful sentiment to go with! Thanks so much for playing at Sparkles!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about the heat, focusing on anything is difficult but at least the temps have dropped here this week. A fab take on the Color Hues pair and you got a Christmas card for your stash, thanks for linking up
ReplyDeleteWe're having unusually warm weather where I am, too; I am NOT a fan! I am, however, a fan of your tall trees Christmas card! They're so pretty, especially against the embossed "snowy" background. Thank you for joining us at Inkspirational.
