THERE'S NOTHING QUITE AS EXCITING AS A TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS TREE!

Don't you agree?

There is a fabulous Christmas Tree image over at the Jackson's Digital Expressions store, and I couldn't resist colouring it up:


I coloured the image using alcohol markers and a white gel pen .. here is a better look at the image:


I added Stickles to the tinsel and Glossy Accents to all the decorations (although that is not visible on the photograph.

The rest of the card is made up of:
white CS card base
green punched border
red card mat
white offcut for computer generated sentiment
red gems

I would like to add this card to the following challenges:
