It's time for another challenge with us on the
This week we are going freestyle with
Challenge #87 - Anything Goes
Today I have used the delightful "The Perfect Christmas Tree" digital stamp from QKR Stampede, one of our generous sponsors for the challenge this week to create my DT project.
Tree trunks and wooden planks were more of a challenge than I thought.
I practised a few times and finally decided less detail is better.
After some searching online, I also found that a
touch of W3 & W5 adds an aged effect to wood.
What do you think?

I did try this image with a touch of green on the pine broughs and
a touch of colour around the ground but it just didn't look "right"
... I might try it again with a "lighter" touch

My holiday is Christmas.
PS - my DT card started with a rectangle image panel to go over the burlap. By happy coincidence, I saw Sketch #251 by Cindy at Freshly Made Sketches. It was almost the same as the card I had planned. except her top layer was oval and the "belly band" was directly under the oval, so I decided to make a change from my usual geometric layers and die cut the image panel oval like her sketch found HERE.

I was inspired by the wood, earthy shades and pop of red in the image.
