Color Inspired Tree

When I saw Kristina's color inspiration challenge this week I was so excited as it is the perfect color combo to use my new Season of Friendship stamp set which is now available in the Holiday Mini. I waited oh so patiently all morning for Mr. Brown to show up and when he finally did it was downstairs to the stamping studio to make my challenge creation. And here is what I came up with.

I started with a Pumpkin Pie card base to which I added a Chocolate Chip layer. I then took a piece of Very Vanilla and stamped the tree from Season of Friendship in Chocolate Chip and the leaves on the branches in Old Olive (in place of Kiwi Kiss for the color challenge) and Pumpkin Pie. I then added some fallen leaves below the tree in Pumpkin Pie. Some of the leaves had been stamped off before stamping them on my card layer. I wrapped some Alpine Originals felt ribbon around my tree and adhered it to my card with Stampin' Dimensionals. Once I saw it all put together I thought it still needed some sort of sentiment, so I stamped "thank you" from Short & Sweet in Chocolate Chip on Very Vanilla, punched it out with my small oval punch and layered it on a piece of Chocolate Chip that was punched with the large oval punch and added the oval to my card.

I love how it turned out. If you'd like to try out this stamp set for yourself be sure to RSVP for my World Card Making Day event for tomorrow and you can play with it!
