Sparkles Christmas Challenge 175 has just gone live and Debbie has chosen Include a Tree as our theme for the month of August! These days, I always try to use at least one the many NBUS (Never Before Used Schtuff or Stash) items that I haven't yet had time or opportunity to use! For this project, I included two trees from a Charlie & Paulchen set - Winterliche Bäume which translates to Wintry Trees!
Wintry trees calls for sparkle and since I still had some of the white glitter card stock on my desk from last month's Christmas Sparkles Challenge, that's what I used!
The falling snow background was created by using another NBUS set (Snowbanks by Justine Hovey) to cut a black panel which I laid on a white card base. The snowbank (also from the Snowbank set) was also cut from glitter card stock, as was this "sparkle" sentiment (Creative Craft Sparkle and Shine set)!
I do hope you can join us at the Sparkles Christmas Challenge and are inspired by the rest of the Design Team! It's never easy making Christmas cards in the summer heat but given how fast this year is disappearing, December will be upon us before we know it!!!
