LIST: Colours (white, red, green, ), Techniques (die cutting), Elements (3 festive red and green patterned shopping bags with tissue, horizontal ribbon, die cut 3 word sentiment, embossed background)
INCLUDE: red, white, green, 3 focal images, landscape orientation, sentiment along the bottom
MODIFY: die cut bags are now stenciled Christmas trees, sentiment is stamped
EXCLUDE: embossing, ribbon
SPIN: gold splatter instead of embossed polkadots.
I have this Ribbon Twirl Tree stencil from Trinity stamps that I've never used, and I thought it would be perfect to imitate the plaid bags on Sarah's card.
But the stencil is designed to create one tree that fits an A2 card. I turned my card landscape (uncomfortable for me! lol!) and masked off the bottom inch of my panel, and just used the upper portion of the stencil to create 3 smaller trees.
I added more inkblending to the outside trees to make them more solid and green, much like the 2 outside shopping bags..
AND I ended up with smudges - nothing fatal, just little bits of 'misplaced ink'. The answer to this is always gold watercolour splatter! And the splatter kind of works to take the place of Sarah's embossed polka dots.

Your card is very nice. You did a lot of work with all the stenciling. I didn't even notice the smudges. Probably because I mess my cards up all the time and then go back and try to fix them. Great job. I am honored to be featured.
