Santa Tree

-
I've colored while I was on vacation the great image from Nana Vic that's offered for this month's progressive challenge over at Lady annes challenges.

I combined actually the 2 images since one was a sentiment.  I thought it went perfect with the image.


My DP is from Kringle & Co by American Craft.  I used my large square as well as my nested pine from Spellbinder.

Here's a closer look at the digi colored with my copics.  I added some stickles to the hat and the star.  I also inked the edge of the tree with my pine needles distress ink.
I'm really happy with the results!

I have followed a sketch that I can't share with you... you will have to go to the challenge blog and get it yourself.  I was also inspired by a picture that was the reason I chose the DP:

    You are such a smart girl combining both images into the same card. That is certainly a time saver. I've doing my layout tonight and getting started on my first card. Need to get both done by Thursday so wish me luck! Sweet DP and I really love the inking around the edges of the tree shape. Another job well done.
