Mini Trees Squared Up - Fab Friday 56

  I've taken quite the break haven't I?  Well I am back and ready to share with you the next Fab Friday Challenge!

  Now I'm going to warn you, it might be intimidating at first because there are A LOT of colors!  But I know you can make some fabulous cards because the colors are so awesome together!  I went with Christmas but I think they would work for a guy card, kids cards....really anything you can dream up!

  And here is my Christmas card using our challenge colors:

  There isn't too much stamping on this one but there are still some details to point out.   The stamping is just a few snowflakes stamped in opposite corners and then the sentiment.  I used Chocolate Chip ink for the sentiment because I needed something darker so it would show up without taking away from the colors of the trees.

  After punching the mini trees out I mounted them on a Whisper White squares that are paper pierced using the square piercing guide.  Those squares are popped up with dimensionals onto a slightly larger Crumb Cake square.

  Next I decorated each tree with various bits and baubles.  The Old Olive tree is topped with a bit of silver thread from the silver baker's twine and held down with a Cherry Cobbler candy dot.

  The Bermuda Bay tree is decorated with a snowflake from the Frosted Sequins collection.  I topped it with a rhinestone for some sparkle.

  The Coastal Cabana tree has a punched Glimmer Paper heart.  The heart in the owl builder punch was the perfect size for the mini trees.

 Last is the Cherry Cobbler tree that has a large silver sequin from the Frosted Sequins collection.  I colored a small rhinestone with the darkest Old Olive Blendabilities marker and added it to the top of the sequin.

  I can't wait to see what you make with these great challenge colors.  Check out the rest of the Fab Friday Design Team samples and then play along!

  Thanks for looking! Did you stamp today?
