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:


You can see all the details and gorgeous inspiration from the rest of the Design Team here.  Or stop by their blogs and give them some love:

Thanks for stopping by, keep it crafty!

Supplies: 
Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla (SU)
Stamp: Hardwood (SU)
Misc: Clear and Gold embossing powder, Gold Stickles, cut file from Silhouette Online Store

    This is stunning....and another reason I think I "need" an e-cutter! DH was actually looking at one this weekend....I think the idea intrigued him, LOL! Your wooden background is perfect for your "tree"!

    That wood background on your card looks like you swiped a piece of real paneling! Lovely card and great take on the color challenge.
