Gold Foiled Christmas Tree

Just Us Girls has an Anything Goes Challenge to celebrate 15 years of challenge which adds up to the current challenge: #800! It’s one of my favorite challenges, and I wanted to be sure I got a card in the gallery. I chose the colors from the CAS Colors and Sketch Challenge: red, green and gold, but I’m not sure my card ended up being CAS enough for them. It’s CAS to me, so I’ll put it in their gallery and see. I’m also adding it to the Peace on Earth Challenge where Anything Goes. There’s also an inspiration board, but I didn’t use it this time.

The main image is a gold foiled Christmas tree that was a gift from The Greetery. I foiled it on green cardstock and die cut it with an arch from Ellen Hutson’s Essential Arches. I love her Essentials dies because they die cut the shape as well as a narrow border, so I die cut it a second time from gold metallic cardstock.

I mounted it on a red card base and added a single gold pearl to the star on the top of the tree. One of my favorite Memory Box Black Tabs: Merry Christmas was, once again, the perfect size.
