Christmas/Holiday Card #10 - O Christmas Tree II

Hello!  Today I'm sharing another Christmas tree.  Same image as this post HERE but with a different look. It's sparkly and bold but also quick and easy.

I stamped the tree with Gumball Green ink on white cardstock.  I sponged the same ink around the image, following the shape of the tree.  From scraps of red Glimmer Paper, I punched out small circles and a star.  I used glue dots to adhere the "ornaments" and star to the tree.  I mounted the main panel onto a black mat and used dimensionals to attach that to the front of the card.  I took a 3" long scalloped tulle ribbon, tied a knot and attached it to the base of the tree.  Isn't that quick and easy?

I couldn't decide where to place the sentiment so I left it out.  It's bright, bold and kinda' retro, don't you think?

I have one more Christmas tree stamped on white background and I was ready to move on to something else so I quickly put together this last one using the same elements as the first two.  You can tell it's like the adopted cousin, not much thought went into it.  LOL.

It looks unfinished to me but I'm moving on, so I'm letting it go.

Thank you for stopping by and looking at the pictures, ha ha ha.  Until the next post......... cheers!!!

Christmas/Holiday Card #5 - Snowflakes

Hello!  Today I'm highlighting snowflakes.  Selecting which of my favorite snowflake image I should start with is the challenge.  I tend to pile them all in one card and create some kind of a snowstorm, lol.  My newest die cut acquisition is a huge snowflake and I'm leaning towards that, too.

The die cut won!  My card today came together pretty quickly.  This is another card that can be mass produced in no time.

I opted for white cardstock instead of blue, my original choice, and sponged three shades of blue inks across the front for my background.  I started with the lightest blue (bashful blue) above the one inch white space at the bottom.  I followed that with medium blue (marina mist) making sure to blend the two shades.  The darkest shade (midnight muse) was sponged lightly towards the top and heavily on the top edges.  Blend, blend, blend.

Then I stamped the tiny snowflakes all over in the darkest shade of blue, midnight muse, and use the same ink for the sentiment.  I used Brushed Silver cardstock to die cut the snowflakes, the die has 3 different snowflakes, I only used two.  I layered the two snowflakes with dimensionals and added the blings.

It's clean and cool and sparkly.  I like it!

Coming up next is the other snowflake card I made.  Until then............. Cheers!!!
