Sorry for the blurry and unclear photo.
I have used a a digital stamp by Rick St Dennis, named Creepmas Mourning. The paper comes from F.T and the red poinsetta from Pysselmakaren. The red bow was found in an ad magazine.
I made this Creepmas card for my big sister. The title reads "We don't want a stupid plastic tree" because of what happened before Christmas 2 years ago. My oldest little sister and I were determined to get a real Christmas tree that year, and our older sister were with us from the start. We went with mum to town, with the goal to get a real Christmas tree. After an hour, our big sister realized that it wouldn't be problem-free to get a tree, so she changed her mind. She told our mum that we had gone to town only to get a Christmas tree. Mum got mad and said: "No, now we go home. I don't want a stupid Christmas tree." At that point, my little sister C. had already bought a nice red Christmas stand.
We got into the car and were trying to persuade mum to go to the tree plantation, where they were selling Christmas trees. Mum said that we would now leave town, so C. got so mad that she opened the car door (while we were driving) and jumped out. I realized that it wouldn't be any Christmas peace at home unless I tried to help C. with her Christmas tree mission. I asked mum to let me off and she did. Then I ran after C. who was already far away. Then we went by foot 2 km to the tree plantation. When we had finally bought our Christmas tree, we went back to town (also by foot). We tried to get a ride home from there (30 km), but ended up having to take the Christmas tree with us on the bus. The bus driver told us that we had to take "our friend" in the trunk lid. Lol. The drive home went fine though, and eventually we reached home with our Christmas tree.
So, the card is about that story. The idea is that my oldest little sister C. and I come back as angry zombies and vandalize the stupid plastic tree. Hehe. Mum asked if the card was not for her, but I thought it suited my big sister just as fine. Not that I hold a grudge, although we did call her "a traitor" back then. Lol. I just think it's a funny story that I wanted to make a Christmas card about.
