Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge #15

This is the first card I have made with my new set from the Holiday Mini. It's called Season of Joy. This was also the first stamp set I have gotten from SU that was die cut. Ladies, I hope they make all the sets like this in the new catalog that comes out in January. It took about 5 minutes to put together. It was awesome. I really like making cards for Beate Johns weekend sketches. She has some of the prettiest work I have seen. You can visit her blog at http://beate.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/. I stamped the tree with old olive stamp pad and then used markers to color in other items after I stamped it. I also roughed up the edges of the white around the tree with the Cutter Kit from SU. Stamps: Season of Joy, It's Your Birthday (snowflakes on the bottom of card); Paper: Old Olive, Purely Pomegranate, Soft Sky, Certainly Celery, White, Holiday Harmony Designer; Ink: Old Olive, Basic Black, Versamark; Accessories: Round Tab Punch, Purely Pomegranate Ribbon, Gold Elastic Cord, Markers in Rose Red, So Saffron, Close to Cocoa.
