Christmas Foliage/Trees

It is time once again for the girls in the Christmas Card Club to show our next makes. Zoe asked for Christmas Foliage/Trees. I have shied away from wreaths and christmas trees and gone with this card front that I had stored in my used christmas card box.
The card was originally 6" square but I cut  the snow drift off at the bottom, trimmed it down and mounted the sentiment back onto the top of the card. I decided to make it into an Easel card.

 The snowing design paper is a freebie from Making Cards christmas Papercraft special 2017 which I have teamed with Champagne Pearlised cardstock to make the easel shape. The wishes sentiment is part of a die cut set  and the pearl just  happened to match one of the geese perfectly.
 A quick and easy card this time. Phew!

What a great card! I love the trees in the blues and brown and those geese are adorable. This is so cool. What is a sheep's favorite sport? Base-baa.

What cool trees and I love the trio of Christmas geese strolling among the trees. Love that it's very arty (you are so good at that, and the recycling!) the easel fold shows the scene so nicely with the bit of glittery snow at the base. Also liked the brown & white tone of the card. Great look for this challenge. TFS & Hugs

This is a great take on the trees theme, ValeryAnne. I think you do such an amazing job of upcycling your store bought cards received over the years. This one looks wonderful and the easel design is so lovely
