Wishing you a Joyous Christmas

This week's challenge at Merry Monday #169 - there is a colour theme...Dark Green, Green and Red.. so Christmasy. Today I was inspired by this gorgeous die cut Christmas tree a friend sent me - it's cut from glossy card of a tissue box. I found a stamped background in green (used distress ink on the polystyrene foam, white card on top and brayered it) and then stamped the sentiment across the top and layered it onto dark green card. I mounted the tree with foam tape and used up those big dark red pearls - I tend to use the smaller ones on cards, so it was great to see the big ones worked well on this tree.  Thanks for taking a peek
