I thought I'd go for something in all four categories! Instead of the Christmasy-looking tree in the sketch, I went for a fall tree with some matte & glittery pumpkin colored leaves. I used chocolate dotted paper for the ground and some cherry colored patterned paper for the vertical stripes behind it. Ivory is an allowed neutral so I used that for my background base, rather than white - less stark that way, I thought. I ink-blended it with some Sunkissed ink, then adhered it to an orange card. Finally, I stamped, fussy cut & colored a sweet little gnome & added it along with a puffy sentiment sticker duo to finish the card.

Lucky me, my friend Gundi in Germany (papierelle) sent me this adorable card and some papers. I just love the kitty with the pumpkin head & I'll make good use of the papers. Thanks Gundi!!
