This really looks great. The tree just pops off the page set against the pretty background.
Fabulous background, Loll - it really does look like a yin/yang design. I love making Christmas cards too - more than any other type - and I make them for my Mum and two of my sisters too so need to do a lot. I play along with SCS's Christmas Card Challenge where you challenge yourself to a certain quota every month. I've done it for a few years and it really helps me get them done. Bonnie (bon2stamp) does the Merry Monday sketch challenge so she gets one Christmas card done each week. It's run by a Vancouver Island SU demonstrator on her blog "Always Playing with Paper" - so I might take part in it next year. I'm looking forward to seeing your Christmas cards throughout the autumn!
Oh wow, Loll! Your background turned out amazingly!!! Fantastic!!! Love this card....so unique! Thanks for playing along with us at the Paper Players!
Super duper card! Fantastic colours, love watercolours, adore all the new die cuts! TFS HUGS. DENISE
Beautiful card! Love how the background cooperated perfectly for that tree die cut.
Oh, wow! This is just amazing! Good for you for persevering! I have a hard time working with inks like this, but you've inspired me to keep trying, because the result is fantastic!
That was the first thing I thought of when I saw the green & red together--that you didn't have a muddle of brown in the middle! This is just beautiful, CAS, yet very striking indeed! Thanks for playing with us at the Paper Players this week!
Loll, this is gorgeous. The swirly tree is just perfect with your background treatment. I love the fact that it is CAS in feel and yet has so much interest. Love it! So glad you shared it with the Paper Players this week

Love this tree and how you made the background of the circle to make it stand out. Beautiful :)
Congrats on your win at Paper Players, Loll! I LOVE your artistry here. Gorgeous. I remember loving your creations at SCS, too, and so I've signed myself up to be one of your followers. :) I didn't realize you have a blog till today!
Wow this is such a stunning CAS card - the sponging looks fabulous with the delicate white tree over the top! Thanks for playing along with the Paper Players this week!
Congratulations, Loll! Another, not surprising, win for you at Paper Players for this stunning card!!
This is yet another amazing card. Your background is superb!
