Merry Monday Christmas 218

An all year round site entirely devoted to Christmas Cards! That's the Merry Monday challenge, a site I've not played at before. This week's challenge is...



So, I had this idea of some tartan Christmas trees against a sponged background and some hills. Since Christmas for us is a summer event, I just couldn't do snowy hills so we've got a summery scene instead.


The front layer of hills is popped up on dimensionals. The hills were created with Simon Says Stamp Stitched Hills and Slopes dies, which are pretty much NBUS even though I've had them a while. I think I'll use them more, now.


The trees are varying numbers of layers thick in order to create more sense of depth.


Ingredients
Card: Garden Green, Whisper White, DSP from Warmth and Cheer stack and Trim this Christmas stack (retired)
Stamps: Oh What Fun!
Inks: Garden Green, Delightful Dijon, Crumb Cake
Other: Tree punch (retired), Simon Says Stamp Stitched Hills and Slopes dies, Metallics enamel shapes, dimensionals, sponges

    Love your summer theme for this Christmas card, no a fan of snow cards seeing as it is a Summer Christmas we have here in NZ. Love the choice of Tartan paper for the tree's.

    Also a BIG WOO HOO for the QUEEN of CLEAN congratulations, (mind you how could anyone by pass that card as not a winner)
