I am trying to leave my comfort zone of traditional colors for Christmas cards and decided to use CC696-Pineapple, Calypso Coral and Pear Pizzazz without the dessert of summer treats.
While the colors I used belong to red and green, this card has a little bit of a tropical feel, IMHO. For the paper strips I used the Ghost stamping technique (aka Jennifer McGuire's ink layering). I stamped the pine bough in white unicorn and then sponged Leaf Green ink over it. I again stamped the pine bough, but in Peeled Paint. I applied the same technique with the berry stamp using Abandoned Coral for the sponging and the top stamping. The sentiment was stamped last in white unicorn. I cut a die cut circle in half and made the folded tree. I added Nuvo drops as decoration and lots of mini circle confetti. The tree trunk was colored Tattered Rose and Mustard Seed markers and a squiggle of Nuvo drops was added. I definitely need more practice with dropping the drops.

I happen to LOVE nontraditional Christmas colors. Your card is terrific.
