Merry Monday #99 - A Color Combo

Hey everyone, it's Monday and that means time for another fun challenge at Merry Monday!  This week's theme is chosen by Margaret and she wants us to make a Christmas card with the colors Chocolate Brown, Green, Gold and White/Cream.


I cut this tree of words with my Silhouette and sponged it with some Old Olive Ink.   Then I covered it with clear embossing powder, except for the top and bottom details which I embossed in gold.  

I really like this week's inspiration photo:
