What a gorgeous colour combo! Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery and Chocolate Chip.
I started this one by watercolouring the tree with a drop of Certainly Celery reinker. I'd never tried this before - I love the vibrant results it gives.
I really wanted some striped paper, but of course I didn't have any in these colours, so put my good old ruler and Stampin' Up! markers to use and created the background paper. I tried to vary the widths of the stripes for that designer paper look! It took awhile, but I love the way it turned out.
Everything else is pretty simple, I love my new Designer label punch, it's so much fun to layer it for different looks. TFL!

I love your card ... I can't believe that you MADE the background paper ... WOW!!! Who would have believed it! I'm gonna have to try this. Your ribbon is, also, perfectly tied. What an excellent job. This one's going into my faves ... TFS
