My Personal Christmas Card

Merry Belated Christmas! :)  Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were both very busy days for me, so no time to post! so here it is anyways!  It's not SO far away from Christmas that you can't still enjoy it.
When I went to design my card this year, first, it needed to be easy, as we were traveling in December, I was taking a big exam, and, well, I just don't seem to have long stretches of crafting time these days -- just little snatches here and there...  Secondly, I wanted to use a set that, sadly, had never seen ink yet -- high time to pull out Tree Trimmings and make something gorgeous with it before that set retires.  Thirdly, I wanted a somewhat non-traditional color scheme -- which I half way accomplished -- I still threw some Cherry Cobbler in the mix because I just couldn't help myself....

The card base is Blushing Bride, embossed with the Snow Burst embossing folder, and then sponged with Champagne Shimmer paint around the edges.  I then stamped the ornaments with Cherry Cobbler, Blushing Bride, and Early Espresso -- and used a Pear Pizzazz marker to color in the branches from a stamp in the set -- Tags till Christmas.  They gave me the ferny little branches I was looking for.  The rest is quite self explanatory -- and many of you have received this card in the mail!  Simple, yet elegant -- and went together pretty quickly -- all excellent qualities for this year especially.
