Christmas Cards 14

A Christmas Tree under snow flakes is a simple fun card to create, and just perfect for those that love simple punch art. This lovely idea was shared with me by a very dear customer Joyce - Ben (our son)  loved the tree so much Joyce was not allowed to take her card home.  I think it is very cute, hope you do too!

The Whisper White card base is embossed with Northern Flurry (120902) from the 2012 Holiday Catalogue highlighted with Rhinestones (119246).  The tree is simply 2 scallop circles ( I used the 6cm scallop circle 118874) cut into segments of  - 6 scallops, 5 scallops, 4 scallops and 3 scallops; and layered on top of each other (I inked the edges to give a bit of definition).  I then decorated the tree with pearls (119247). The stars are punched using the star from the Punch Pack Merri Minis 126882 out of the gorgeous champaign (127885) and silver (124005) Glimmer Paper for the second card.  The greeting is from Snow Swirled (W115868 / C127799).

I then wanted to try a little bling on plain coloured card, so I sponged Wild Wasabi with Gumball Green and added the baubles with all three of Stampin' Up!'s wonderful Dazzling Details - Cherry Collber 125585, Dazzling Details 124117 and Silver Sparkle 127845. Below is the finished product.

I had actually used the silver and dazzling details on the snow flakes to give them a little bling but I cannot see that on my screen....hope you can, it is alllll sparkly like the star  :-).

 

 Hopefully you can now see all the sparkly...
