Green/Purple Christmas Tree Card

There were a couple of times through the years when we went to a Christmas tree farm to pick out the perfect family Christmas tree.  Our experience was never as exciting as that of the "Griswold" family.  Finding out that my son was allergic to real Christmas trees was probably the best thing that ever happened for me (I always hated all that gunk that got on my hands and arms and ate my fingers up).  I bought into the "fake" tree hype and haven't looked back.   The 52CCT color challenge of purple and green is a little out of my comfort zone...since I gravitate toward red and green at Christmas.  But it is the beginning of the new year and I plan to make as many cards through the year that I can--I decided to give it a shot.   I think the card is sweet and very calm and the family that picked out "that" tree from all the others in the background will be very happy with it.   Using the Tuesday morning sketch for this week as my inspiration, since I really enjoy using designer paper-- I think I like what I came up with, hope you do as well...and I welcome comments!   Thanks for stopping by!   Kathy
