I've been using the fabulous Tall Conifer once again this week for 100 Proof Press to create my second Christmas card of the year. This tree just shouts Christmas and Winter for me.
I created my background using a snowflake embossing folder adding white embossing powder. I applied VersaMark ink to my folder and then embossed the Kraft-Core card stock, sanding the raised areas and edges for further interest.
I cut two circles using the Spellbinders standard circles die and stamped the fabulous trees with black archival ink. I added a little colour with Distress Inks evergreen bough and iced spruce, loving these colours!
To add a little glitz I spritzed with Radiant Rain shimmering mist and added JOY to memo pins for added interest.
I added a lovely wooden snowflake coloured with white acrylic paint and Distress Inks giving fabulous dimension to my card.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Tracy x
