Hello! I have another Christmas card... this one didn't come out the way I was picturing it, but it will do... the colors came from The Color Throwdown #269 (Dusty Durango, Pear Pizzazz, Peach Parfait, Very Vanilla, Soft Suede), the sketch is from Creating Pretty Cards-Sketch Challenge #29 at Craft Project Central.
The first one is a true CAS version...
...then I 'dressed' it up a little bit:
I am also submitting this to Merry Monday #84 (Tees with Bling).
Thanks for stopping by,
Monika
Stamps: Lovely As a Tree, Dictionary BG, French Foliage, Sent with Love stamp sets (SU!)
Ink: Soft Suede, Peach Parfait, Pear Pizzazz (SU!)
Paper: Very Vanilla, Peach Parfait, Pear Pizzazz, Vellum (SU!)
Embellishments: yarn, button, pearls
CAS done right! I love the CAS design and the embellished tree makes it even more gorgeous! Also, love the vellum strip-clever :-)

I really like both versions of the design! The clean and simple version is so classic and the stepped up version is so trendy. Thanks for joining us at the Color Throwdown!

I like your extra touches in the second card, that torn vellum along the side is really cool!
