ABOUT MY CARD

Who’s says Christmas trees need to be green? Not me!! I absolutely LOVE the Decorative Trees stamp and dies bundle and will use any excuse to get creative with it. Including a pink, blue and grey colour challenge!

I’ve been using my blending brushes on quite a few personal cards lately and so decided to use them for this Decorative Trees Christmas card too. After die cutting the Balmy Blue and Petunia Pop tress, I blended on some of the same coloured ink to each tree. I started at the base of the trees and stopped roughly half way up. Then I added the Basic Gray die cut pieces on top

I also blended some Whisper White ink onto my piece of Basic Gray card before adding the 2 trees. The Balmy Blue one is simply glued in place and the Petunia Pop one was raised with dimensionals…

.

Instead of adding gems, I used the white pearlised enamel effects. I had fun with this but I think I need a bit more practice with them. I’m definitely late to the party with using them

Finally I stamped the lines from the Decorative Trees set with both colours of ink and added my sentiment.
