Oh Christmas Tree


Good Morning
Welcome to November and the wonderful new releases at A Colorful Life Designs.
Meet the newly released

So, here's what I did to create my card.
  • I began by die cutting 2 pieces of white cardstock using the Postage Collage die and set one aside.
  • I masked around the edges of the sections of one of the die cut panels, then placed the Close Up Branches stencil over the die cut and inked with some Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide ink.
  • I moved the stencil slightly and inked again over the whole stencil with some Rustic Wilderness DOX ink giving the branches a shadow effect.
  • Next, I removed the stencil and lightly inked over it with some more of the Cracked Pistachio DOX ink.
  • I used the eraser on the end of a pencil to add the red dots as berries and then splattered with my white Posca pen.
  • I took the die cut I had set aside and cut one of the sections and stamped the tree onto that.
  • I used some red cardstock to die cut the sentiment, spattered with my Posca pen, then glued that onto the white word shadow.
  • I glued the stenciled panel onto a piece of red cardstock and then onto an A2 sized white card base.
  • I glued the single tree stamp to one side and used some foam tape to pop the sentiment into the corner.

Here is the stencil I used:
