Today’s Prompt: “O Christmas Tree” 🌲✨
Get inspired to create a festive tree card that captures the spirit of the season! Here are some ideas to spark your creativity:
- Classic Silhouette: A simple tree with ornaments or snow accents.
- Whimsical Patterned Tree: Fill with festive patterns like candy canes or holly.
- Tree of Words: Form a tree shape with holiday words or phrases in calligraphy.
- Animal Adorned: Woodland animals decorating a tree in a snowy forest.
- Modern Geometric: A minimalist tree using shapes and bold colors.
Today’s Project
I wanted to create a playful and festive forest scene. I started with a deep purple background to give the design a rich, wintery feel, allowing the trees to really pop. I had fun mixing different shapes, patterns, and shades of pink, green, and plaid for the trees, adding variety and interest to the card. The “Merry & Bright” sentiment in soft pink became the focal point, tying everything together with a cheerful vibe. To finish, I added sequins and tiny embellishments for a bit of sparkle, capturing the magic of Christmas in a simple yet festive way.
