This card was created using the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #136 using the colors from the
First I started out with different size Christmas trees but it didn't take on the appearance of the sketch. Looking for something more rectangular I decided to use words and text them vertically, alternating the colors, which I felt was a better interpretation of the sketch...then added my tree at the end for the fifth piece. A shaker was used for the focal point with my sentiment attached to it. So as not to hide the letters in the words, I wove a thin strip of white glitter tape across the words and tree and on the other side of the shaker. Raised the Champagne panel with 3D Regular Tape, cut hole in panel and placed the shaker card in hole, and attached panel to the Cocoa border. Raised the Merry Christmas with 3D Thin Foam Tape to meet the height of the shaker.
