I really love how Always Artichoke and Cherry Cobbler look together, especially when I'm doing a Christmas project. And lucky for me the challenge this week at Pals Paper Arts uses those colors plus Very Vanilla. Then I saw the FTL sketch challenge at Clean & Simple and I got an Idea.
I'm {somewhat} sure that the tree shape from the sketch challenge can be substituted for another shape, but based on my Idea, I decided to go literal with this one.
This card marks the first time that I used the Snow Burst embossing folder (unbelievable, I know)! And my tree is simply four scallop circles, sponged on the edges and cut in a triangle. I paper pierced the smaller Very Vanilla layer and popped it up with dimensionals so that it would stand out from the card base of the same color. I really like how this turned out. It's simple and lets those fabulous colors take center stage. And as I was getting ready to post this card, I realized that I left off the sentiment. But I decided not to go back and add one, because I think it looks pretty good without one!
Thanks for stopping by!

You have such a knack for a clean classic design! I love this - the tree is wonderful out of the scallops!
Beautiful card, Jen. I love it exactly as you made it - the cherry cobbler and always artichoke definitely pop off the page! :)
