The weeks soon roll by and it's time for our friendly Christmas Card Club challenge. This time it is Sylvie's turn to choose a theme and she chose ' Trees ' somewhere on your card. Now I thought about making a CAS card this time as I like a challenge :) however it started off as CAS and ended up as slightly more involved. Each time I looked at it I felt I needed to add a bit more of something, anyhow this is how it turned out...
The stamped trees are from an old Papermania stamp set together with the sentiment. I used DI for the land and sky and added some shabby white Frantage to give the impression of snow. The organza ribbon, button and charm are from my stash.
Challenges:
TTCRD - Anything Goes
Papertake Weekly - It's A Jolly Holiday

Completely Christmas - #22 Anything Goes

Lovely card. thank you for entering it into the Creative Fingers challenge.
This is beautiful Lorraine - I love those colours and you have reminded me about Frantage, I always forget to use it. Not sure whether you remember what sort of card that is but if you do, I would love to know.

Well it's fairly CAS Lorraine - I guess it all depends on just how "fussy and fancy" your usual cards are. Regardless I think it is gorgeous! Hugs Christine xx

Perfectly delightful card for Sylvie's challenge for CCC and thanks for sharing for Completely Christmas 22 and CHNC challenge extra for July - hope to see you there again soon. x
A beautiful card Lorraine, very elegant. Carol x
Perfect little stunner. Gorgeous colourway. I kept adding layers to my card as I felt it lacked something. Hugs mrs a.
The frontage really did look like snow on the tree scape. So very pretty too. Loved the circle aperture with this snowy tree scene, and the way you've done the ribbon design as well. Delightful addition of the charm and your layers certainly added a lot of sparkling beauty to this marvelous card. TFS & Hugs
Oh this is fabulous, love the tree scene with frantage in the circle and the way you kept the rest of the card quite simple.
