Festival of Trees Card

I made this card for a demonstrator card swap.  We love making cards to share with each other.  It gives each of us different ideas (designs, layouts, etc.) to use with our customers.  For this card, I decided that I wanted to use non-traditional holiday colors (no greens or reds this time).  So I choose to use Lost Lagoon and Silver.  I think this color combination makes the card look more classy for the holidays.  The single tree, single silver accent layer, rhinestones, a light DSP layer and the completely Whisper White card base and layers give it a classy and simple design.  This card layout is so simple to use that all you have to do is change out the DSP, stamp set/punch or framelit and greeting, and you end up with a completely different card each time.
