Hi! This card was made for today's Color Combination Challenge: Sahara Sand, Very Vanilla and Basic Black.
Now, I have to admit this, I LOVE these colors together...However, Mark walked in, carrying Speedy the Cat, while I was making this card and said, "YUCK! Sepia Christmas?" Even Speedy the Cat looked disgusted with me!
Well, I don't care! LOL! I wanted an elegant Christmas Card for Markie's piano teacher, and I think this will be for him. And, if he doesn't like it, he is MUCH too polite to say so! LOL!
The card stock colors go from bottom to top: Basic Black, Sahara Sand and then Very Vanilla. It LOOKS white because I stamped that pine bough in VersaMark and embossed in Very Vanilla. I think the overhead light shines on the embossing and makes it look white...
The pine bough was stamped in Sahara Sand on the designer paper and then I sponged around the edges with Sahara Sand.
The tree was stamped in Noir Black Palette Hybrid Ink and then run through the Nesties. Next, I sponged the edge with Sahara Sand to give the illusion on another layer.

This is stunning....classy and elegant and the piano teacher will love it. And if he doesn't, please tell him politely that he is crazy, then send the card to me! I really must buy that tree stamp...

Wow, Faith! This has to be my favorite of all the cards you've done! I love the mix of different shaped panels and that tree is gorgeous!
