Splitcoaststampers had their Color Combination Challenge, CC454 yesterday which required the Stampin'Up! colors Night of Navy, Baja Breeze, and Daffodil Delight. I had all the colors except Daffodil Delight so I used some scrap paper I had on hand for the yellow.
I saw this design on Pinterest: http://kentuckykindergartenkorner.blogspot.com/2012/12/eeek-loving-this-new-christmas-craft.html?m=1 Well, I know it was for kindergartners but I have seen plenty of this type tree made that wasn't for kindergartners. LOL I saw one yesterday on Splitcoaststampers made with Washi tape. I should have used Washi as I am sure it would have been easier (I think) than cutting all these strips of cardstock.
I didn't have a star punch with the size I needed so I punched a snowflake for the top of the tree. Then, I added my sentiment on a tree branch...couldn't find anywhere else for it to go.
I'm entering the Oozak blog challenge-#26-Holidays and anything goes-This is my third and final entry as their limit is three.

This is adorable Benzi! I love the colors and the creativity!

Hallo Brenda,
ein schöner moderner Weihnachtsbaum. Die Idee mit dem Washi Tape gefällt mir sehr gut und auch die Farbkombination und der Text passen gut auf die Karte.
Liebe Grüße, Anja
This tree is the coolest Brenda, so creative, love it ;) Have a Wonderful Thanksgiving!
Simply delightful. I'm seeing these 'folk art' trees - not sure what else to call 'em - all over the 'net. Loved your colors and great idea to stamp the sentiment on a 'branch' as you did. Inspired topping too, I might add. Really cute & clever card. Happy Thanksgiving, enjoy your family, stay warm. TFS & Hugs
Hi Benzi, einen wunderschönen Weihnachtsbaum hast Du kreiert. Der ist Cool. Mit den bunten Papier Streifen sieht er viel schöner aus, als mit Washi Tape, weil er so einen tollen 3 D Effekt bekommen hat. :)
Ich wünsche Dir ein paar schöne Tage mit Deiner Familie.
Liebe Grüße, Carmen
