Merry and Bright!

The Polkadoodles Design Team is here today with a new Challenge.  Our challenge this week was a 'merry and bright' Christmas card using a specified colour palette. 

For mine, I've selected Winnie Christmas Wishes, Friendly Cuddles.

 Here's the colour palette we were to use: 

I also started with using Winnie White Christmas Digital Printable Papers 2.  After sizing the image to about 3" I layered paper #13 under the image then printed them on 110# Neenah card stock.  The coloring was done with Copic markers which are referenced at the bottom.  

I used the Tattered Lace Hemstitch Square die for the edge and die cut the Polkadoodles Layering Trees out of a scrap of metallic gold card stock.  I also trimmed the printed 'Christmas Wishes' sentiment down a bit. 

For the card base I selected a coordinating dark green and made a background strip with the blue and peach colors.  After securing the strip across the middle of the card base, I added the colored image, then stacked the tree on the right edge, adding foam behind each piece.  Across the bottom, I added an additional strip of the patterned paper and secured the sentiment which I also added foam behind.  Lastly I finished the card with the peach organza ribbon and bow at the top fold of the card.
