Over the tree tops

Hi all!

Have you ever started out with an idea

and ended up doing something totally different?

That's what happened with this card.

I used

"Tree" (#14501) and

"Sleigh and Reindeer" (#15705)

from QKR Stampede to make this card.

I started it with a totally different thought,

even a different image that would be the focal point of the card.

I found a sheet of patterned paper in my stash with the trees on it.

I thought it might be interesting to us some

Distress Ink (Broken China) to give it different color.

Then I thought about the Sleigh and Reindeer

image and how cute it would be flying over the trees.

Then I decided to stamp a few Tree images

and color them with Distress Ink (Peeled Paint)

I fussy cut them and added them to the card,

I used some foam tape to give that middle one a bit of depth.

I do love how this card turned out,

even if I didn't do anything that I planned to do.

For the inside of the card,

I used an embossing folder and ran it through my Cuttlebug. 

Love the snowflakes!

I think I'll add a handwritten sentiment to this one.

Now to get back to that image I was planning to use on the card,

hmmmm what should I do with it?

 

Thanks for stopping by today,

I hope you've been inspired in some way by my card. 

Even if it's just to go ahead and veer off course

when the mood strikes you.

Leave me a comment if you will and come again soon.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
