Christmas Card Number Six

Hello

Sorry for the delay this week, I've just had one of those weeks where everything I touch seems to fall apart.
Today's card features the humble Christmas tree again and a really bold colourful background.

Materials needed:

  • 3 pieces of green patterned paper, one striped pattern paper, and two light coloured patterned papers.
  • Sliver embossing powder and embossing ink
  • "holiday greetings' stamp
  • A sliver and black gel pen
To make the card:
  • Cut the striped paper to fit the front of the card and adhere.  Cut a small strip of one of the light coloured papers and adhere towards the bottom of the card.
  • From each of the green papers, cut a Christmas tree in three different sizes.  If desired add some embossing or glitter to the trees.  Cut a heart from the other light patterned paper.  From a scrap piece of paper cut out three small rectangles to be the trunk of the trees.
  • Stamp and emboss the sentiment on to the heart.
  • Adhere two of the Christmas trees directly to the front of the card.  Using dimensional foam adhere the third Christmas tree in between the first two.  Also with dimensional foam, adhere the heart towards the right side of the card.
  • Using the black gel pen create dash lines around the outside of the heart.  With the silver pen do the same around the background piece.
I hope today's card has provided you with some inspiration.
Till next time
Stacey
