Happy Little Stampers September Christmas Challenge

Christmas is fast approaching so you should be finding all the Christmas card challenge blogs and making more cards.

Here is a great one for you to do - Happy Little Stampers September Christmas Challenge has the optional twist of trees on it. 

I needed to do a challenge for a shaped card so I went on my Silhouette and was looking at the files that I had.  I had been struggling with a Christmas card with trees on it - I had it in my head but no stamps that matched my vision.  This design popped right out at me.  I could make one card and take two things off my to do list.

I used scraps for the house and snowman.  I loved this shade of green I used for my tree so that was a new sheet of paper.  I cut two layers of each of the shapes to give a little dimension to each element.

The sentiment was stamped on kraft paper and heat embossed.  I love to use clear embossing powder on anything I stamp with VersaFine Black Onyx ink.  I tied a little piece of twine around the sentiment.  I did ink the edges of all the elements.  I even inked the kraft shaped card base.

I think I will make a few more of this card for my cards for this year.  It went together very easily. 
I am thinking about putting yellow behind the windows so it looks like there are lights shining - what do you think.  I have also thought about splattering it with white paint.

Please come join us this month at Happy Little Stampers for our Christmas challenge.
