Colorful Christmas Inspiration

 Happy February!  The current challenge posted at Jingle Belles is a beautiful colorful inspiration photo.


What I took from this photo is the lines on the shiplap on the top of the fireplace, the frosted tree and the beautifully colored ornaments!  Then I noticed the sign on the mantle.....Joy, Noel, Peace, Love.  Perfect!!!


I'm a clean and simple sort of cardmaker.....less is more (and also easier to mail)!!  I've taken a piece of white cardstock and embossed it.  Die cut the tree using Tim Holtz "woodlands" dies.  Printed the sentiment, die cut it with Tim Holtz "stacked deckle" dies and popped it up with foam tape.  I inked the edges with gina k. designs ink in kraft.  I then added several sizes and colors of Nuvo drops (apple green, sea breeze, party pink, simply white, pioneer green and rosewater).

Thanks for looking! :)
