Hi! This card was made for today's Limited Supply Challenge: use a Christmas Tree on your card; today's Stampin' B's Challenge: use a pumpkin on your card; and today's Flourishes' Friday Focus: use Flourishes Finishing Touches on a card.
I limited my layers to 3, embellishments to 2 and made it a monochromatic card! I know...I may be sick or something! LOL
The tree was stamped in Palette ink's Landscape. Next, Flower Soft was added to the branches and ground. The "star" is the top of a Flourishes' Finishing Touches piece. I accidently broke it off a week ago, and kept it...I think it makes a pretty good star, don't you? The background is a PUMPKIN one from Cuttlebug...I think the leaves look like holly, so it's kinda a "Where's Waldo's Pumpkin" card!heehee
Completion time: 10 1/2 minutes..(Flower Soft took at while to layer up...)

oh yes, I had to look for the pumpkin! How beautiful your card is Faith! And I agree the Cuttlebug folder designers got their botany confused with those holly leaves on the pumpkin vines!

The Flower Soft is perfect and I do think the leaves look like holly. I see the pumpkin for the StampinB. Beautiful card!

Very nice card! I love the mixing of pumpkins and Christmas tree! I've often thought the pumpkin leaves look like holly, too! But I was truly amazed when I realized that you used the pumpkin eb; the pumpkins are hidden so skillfully!! Now I don't have to get a Christmas eb!!
10 1/2 minutes, huh? and that included drying/layering time??? Sheesh, it would have taken me that long to stamp and cut out the sentiment! Or tie the ribbon! Or gather the supplies! Maybe I'm slower because I don't have Speedy the Cat helping me out! LOL!!
