Oh Christmas Tree…

September 1, 2015

This month we are so excited to be collaborating with Pretty Pink Posh!  Paulina sent the design team some gorgeous sequins and dies to play with and we can’t wait to share our creations with you all month long!!

I regularly design for a Christmas Card challenge team so I was holding off on creating additional Christmas cards until I saw this beautiful Color Layering Christmas Tree stamp set from Hero Arts!  I couldn’t resist making my little Christmas tree in the woods and decorating it with cute sequins from Pretty Pink Posh!
IMG_4765
I stamped the bottom layer of the tree with various shades of green ink and used 2nd generation stamping to get even lighter shades.  I also varied where I stamped the trees to give the illusion of depth in my woods.  I added the sentiment to the card base and tore a piece of white cardstock to create the ground.  Finally I stamped the bottom layer on a piece of cardstock, stamped the various layers, and added metallic gold, silver, and red sequins from Pretty Pink Posh!  The sequins really shine when they catch the light and I love how my little tree is all decked out for the holiday!
We have a fabulous collaboration week coming up so make sure you check back to see the rest of the design team creations using sequins and dies from Pretty Pink Posh!
