Contemporary Merry Minis Christmas trees

Once again the challenge at ColourQ has spurred me into action! The colours gave me the perfect opportunity to whip up a quick contemporary Christmas card. Come and see:

This card relies on that gorgeous textured card stock which gives the punched Christmas trees the perfect subtle background somewhere between smooth and embossed. Core'dinations card stock comes in all the Stampin' Up colours and I love it to bits!

The sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes was stamped onto Whisper White card stock, cut out with the Decorative Label punch and glued under the textured panel.

I was inspired today by this fabulous colour palette (I used Old Olive instead of Kiwi Kiss which has never been available in the UK.)

Here's what you'll need to make this card

Stamps: Teeny Tiny Wishes

Ink: Tangerine Tango

Card stock: Whisper White plus scraps of Tempting Turquoise, Old Olive and Tangerine Tango. Early Espresso core'dinations

Other: Envelope board (for rounding corners), Decorative Label punch, Merry Minis punch pack

I'm always fascinated by contemporary Christmas trees like these from Craft Project Central:

Or this fascinating wall tree I saw on Pinterest:

But I'm a traditional girl at heart so our own Christmas tree is always decorated with creams and reds and glowing Christmas lights:

Please don't worry for our sanity, this was last year's tree and although there have been some suggestions that we get one early this year, so far I've resisted!

Have a wonderful weekend and I'll see you very soon.
