Color Throwdown: Winter Wonderland

 I am totally loving bright and cheerful colors for Christmas this year so I had to play along with the colors at the Color Throwdown.  Even with pink and blue in the combo - for some reason, trees called my name!

I've seen so many tall trees on cards this year. There's a charming set by Stampin' Up and I'm pretty sure that's why I've seen so many.  So I went looking for my own tall trees and I found this set by Alexandra Renke.  This is the "little" set but there's a regular size set too.  Of course, I got both - the regular set is the same style but ranges from around 2 1/2" to 3 1/2". For me, these will get used year round.

I love the style of the sentiment set - so clean and classic yet still fun.  It's from Waffle Flower.  Then I got the sentiment and the trees line up and it needed up some sparkle.  I couldn't believe that I had snowflakes in the same colors!!  This isn't a great card - but it was a card that was meant to be!!

I'm mailing cards today.  I have a couple more already scheduled on the blog for this week - but anything that I make after that is just for fun. Phew!!!

Thank you to the Color Throwdown for the inspiration.
