PP 73: Silver Tree

I have the privilege of substituting over at The Paper Players challenge this week!    I love these ladies, so it is always a thrill when I open up my email and see that I get to play along.   Jaydee has a gorgeous color challenge for everyone this week.   I think this is one of my favorite combinations for elegant Christmas cards. There's just something about blue and silver that I love!  

I decided to show another one of my older, but still current stamps a little love for this one.   Season of Joy was one of the very first sets I ever purchased and I still adore it.   I did have to pull out some retired ribbon as I didn't have any current Night of Navy ribbon.   I love the 1 1/4 striped ribbon and think it looks great used as a divider like this.  I'm definitely using this layout again for more cards!    The sentiment is from another current stamp set, Contempo Christmas.  

I hope you enjoyed my card for today.  Hop over to the Paper Players to see what all the other designers came up with using these gorgeous colors.   I know this week will be a busy one with the holiday, but maybe you can find a bit of time to escape to your crafty space and play along.
