Confession: When I made this card - I wasn't sure if I liked it or not.
But, the more I look at it, the more I like it. Receiving lots of encouraging comments on Splitcoaststampers helped too! :)
Very interesting ... don't you think?
Looking at the colors to the left now make me think Halloween.
But when I sat down to create, I had full intentions of making a Christmas card using these colors. I love all things modern, as I'm sure you've read here before.
This card screams modern from the use of white space, non-traditional holiday colors - right on down to the black Christmas trees. Yes, I said black trees.
The tree stamp set is called Patterned Pines and can be found in the Holiday Mini Catalog. It is a Hostess Level I stamp set - which means, you cannot buy it ... BUT you can earn it.
