Colour Throwdown #67 and FTL #66


This card was made for the Colour Throwdown and for the Fall to Layout challenges. I love these two sites but I have been unable to play due to being sick. But today I felt great and ready to craft!!!
As soon as I saw the colour combo, I knew I had to use this cute little tree from Cornish Heritage Farms. It belongs in an entire primitive christmas set that I love!! I need to ink it up more!! The DSP is a scrap I had, happy to use it!! It had all the right colours!! I used my piercer and mat pack to make little holes all around the image and the main panel. I thought this stamp set kinda suited that style!
I hope you like it. It is a quirky image, but I love it's sweetness...it really captures the whole "Charlie Brown" Christmas tree feeling...I added a little bow made of out soft sky ribbon...I don't know if I am happy with that? Is it too much?

Thanks for stopping by!
Smiles,
Lesley :)

  7. I'm sooooo sad to see that for some reason my comment didn't "stick" the first time I came by! WAH! I noticed it disappeared, but then I thought you had one of those blogs that needed owner approval.. Boo Hooo! Well, you're gonna have to trust me: when I popped in a few days ago ~ I raved and raved about your lovely Charlie Brown tree and how "all it needed was a little love..." which CLEARLY you gave it! Yipee! And now the CTD gals gave you love RIGHT BACK! Congratulations on your honorable mention! Yipee!
