Bah! Humbug! Challenge ... Christmas Trees...

Wow a really easy peasy week at Bah! Humbug! this time.  Christmas Trees - how much scope is there in that theme?  For my card I used a Dreamweaver brass stencil, embossed it using my Big Shot and then coloured using ink dusters and shades of green Adirondack ink with a touch of yellow for the star and brown for the base.  The strip of green in the lower part of the card was scored on my Scor pal and then pleated.  I attached it using Pinflair to give the pleats support.
Spotty paper by DCWV I think!
Additional challenges...
Have a great day everyone.  I'm off to the NEC so I'm really excited.  Do try to pop over to Bah! Humbug! if you have chance.  It's the last week for our Guest Designers and they have really gone out with a bang.  Their contributions this week are totally mind blowing.

I really REALLY like this card Ann, The stencil is so pretty and the dotty paper is just enough in the way of background pattern to be interesting without detracting from the focal point ... which is of course that beautiful tree.
