Oh Christmas Tree

I'm busy making Christmas cards to be sold at the local Christmas Market on a stall raising funds for the Food Bank, where Mark and I volunteer, so I've been trying to make some quick and easy ones that they won't need to charge too much for. Here is one that took just a few minutes:


The colours have come out all wrong in the photo! The background card, gems and colouring on the letters are actually all the same shade of purple! The tree is a magazine freebie stamp from a few years ago, and the words from Lili of the Valley, both stamped and heat-embossed in gold.

I am sharing this with

    This looks great Jane, and for such a good cause too. Well done to you and Mark for volunteering. I love that pretty swirly tree with its gem baubles, and the two-tone sentiment is really eye catching. Thanks so much for playing along with us at Less is More and I hope the card sales go well at the Christmas market :)

    I think that next to photographing shiny things, purple is the hardest to get right. Purple and gold are so regal and I am sure this one will sell, and the money will be put to very good use.

    A cute little card and I love the addition of the gems. I find purple so hard to photograph so I feel your frustration!
    Thanks for sharing with us.
