Stampotique Designer's Challenge - Non-traditional Christmas Card

It's another ~{Stampotique Designer's Challenge}~ and this time it's the turn of the very talented ~{Vicki}~ to set it. She would like you to make a Christmas card without using the traditional colours of red and green.

I have made very few Christmas cards this year. Life's too short to be getting my knickers in a twist each year panicking that I need to make them all and so I bought some after last Christmas! I did enjoy making this one though.

I'm being sneaky on this one as I don't often make red and green cards and I already had these brown and blue Christmas papers! So I've used a non-traditional stamp to make my tree.

I've used ~{Pretty Party Dress}~ stamped onto the papers and cut out the layers individually. I've doodled on the part of the layer that had no border around it so that each piece matches. I've then drawn onto the stamped image for the top 3 layers as below:

.... and again cut them and doodled the borders. I stuck them on with a little gap between each piece and then finished off with ~{Text Star with Tiny Star}~ stamped onto one of the papers and a doodled border.

This time it's a Stampotique only week so dig out those stamps and join us and fingers crossed you could win the prize of a $30 gift certificate to spend in the ~{Stampotique Store}~ and let's face it, what a fab early present that would be! Head over to the ~{blog}~ for inspiration.
