Christmas Card Throwdown September Color Challenge

This week, Christmas Card Throwdown is challenging us to USE THE COLORS Brown, Green and Blue on our cards.  I have to admit I felt challenged... this was not an easy color combination for me.  Although I did not technically use brown, I think the color appears with the clear embossed image on kraft. The pine needles were splattered with white paint to resemble snow. The sentiment is layered 3x atop vellum.  The bow was assembled with foam tape giving the card a good deal of dimension.

Be sure to drop by and see the inspiration cards made by all the design team members and leave them some love!

Enjoy.  I can't wait to see your creations in the gallery.
