This card was made for today's sketch challenge. I had the tree already folded from when I was practising a couple of days ago. I love the tree done in this paper, but had trouble figuring out what to go with it.
Several people have asked so here's the link to the tutorial for this tree:

Wow! Great color combo for that tree. I've already made about 14 Christmas cards with the tree, but now I might have to make a few more using non-traditional Christmas colors. TFS.

This is just marvelous! Elegant, festive, all wrapped up into one, and a perfect sketch challenge card!
I'd LOVE to know how to make these, too, if you'd PM me.
Thanks!

I was just looking that tree up the other day - trying to suggest an alternative to lino-cutting to my dad for his Christmas cards. The sketch works so well with the angles of the tree.

Kathy, I love this folded Christmas tree and the dp that you used on it. I think that embossing on the bg is gorgeous as are these wonderful colors. Awesome card.
If you have the time can you tell me what embossing folder you used on your bg?
