Blue and gold for Christmas

 I was very inspired by a couple of challenges. They really are a tremendous help for my thinking process. I know I can go all over the place, but they keep me on the straight and narrow and help in editing my design choices.

Today's card has a tight color palette and a great simple layout - thanks to Color Throwdown and Freshly Made Sketches! It features a snow globe (courtesy of Day of the Month Card Club), and I am using my star die cut for the first time (NBUS here I come!).

Entering this in these challenges:

Color Throwdown: #CTD772  

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Winter Blues 

Freshly Made Sketches: #615 sketch

Day of the Month Card Club: #58 Day of the Snowglobe

NBUS: Challenge #57

A happy little note

 - is what the text strip announces. I was inspired to use colors from the current Color Throwdown challenge. My papers are most likely to be gelli printed, and this is what I used.

 

I stamped each tree onto a different color, then heat embossed it with clear embossing powder and cut it out and arranged onto a card.

As this fits into several fall themed challenges I will be entering it into these:

More Mixed media: AG with optional orange - I am using this option

Mixed Media Lovers: #6 Challenge

Uniko Challenge: #67 AG with twist of autumn colors

Make My Monday: #158 Embossing - either
