Merry Christmas Easel Card......{PKS Challenge}

Good Morning Everyone!!!
Another very snowy day here :( I think we are somewhere around the 2' mark for snow from the last 3 days. Great for the kids to play in, but not for driving!!
It's a GREAT thing that I got my grocery shopping done yesterday as well as picked up the last of my Christmas shopping. Now to wrap, bake and finish some last minute gifts!!

 I wanted to share another Christmas card I made for the current Peachy Keen Stamps challenge.

Peachy Keen Challenge 13-49 :: Just Cards :: Glitter

So for my entry, I made a twisted easel designed Christmas card.
I think it turned out really pretty...here it is. Hope you like it :)

These types of cards are never easy to photograph.. Looks ok right??

Anyways I used non traditional colors as my color theme, picking papers from MME~Merry Little Christmas paper pack. Once I had the base of my card put together, I added a layer of white cardstock, followed by my designer paper and then stitched a decorative border around the frame. I stamped my Christmas tree onto the card and paper pieced it using more papers from the same paper pack. The next photo shows the tree closer :)

I stamped the sentiment from My Creative Time~Gift Card Sentiments on the inside and the outside of the card and embellished with some stickles on the tree, star die cuts and added a corner ribbon bow using some 3GJ Ribbon Candy Crinkle Ribbon.

Here is the close-up of the tree. I used the PKS~Santa Tree set and paper pieced the whole thing again using papers from the MME paper pack. To add some sparkle to the tree, I added some silver stickles to random spots on the tree, added some Cotton Candy stickles to the stripes under the tree and to the die cut star on top of the tree.

Supplies Used:
Paper~ Kraft, White, MME~Merry Little Christmas
Stamps~ PKS~12 Santa Tree
My Creative Time~ Gift Card Sentiments
Dies~My Creative Time~All Around Holidays
Embellishments~ Sewing Machine
3GJ Ribbon Candy Crinkle Ribbon
Stickles

So there is my card.
I hope you like it!
Thanks so very much for stopping by and have a GREAT Tuesday!!
