Christmas Card Challenges #13

Don't you think the inspiration photo for this week's Christmas Card Challenge is gorgeous?  I purple and white.  It makes for a very pretty non-traditional Christmas card.

For my card I used a Whisper White card base and added a layer of Elegant Eggplant cardstock.  The Christmas tree was made using Rhinestone Basic Jewels.  The rhinestones are mounted onto some cardstock and the tree is popped up using dimensionals.  I stamped the sentiment from the Complements of the Season stamp set from Waltzing Mouse onto Whisper White using Elegant Eggplant ink.  Then, I cut it out using the label die from the Rose Garden Thinlits Dies.  A few more rhinestones and it was all done.  Very simple but I do love the sparkle.

    1. Thanks, Laurie! Now if I could just keep the rhinestones in place. I left it in the light tent over night and some of the rhinestones fell off. Looks like some glue is needed. lol
