Hello everyone, thank you for stopping by once again.
Now i normally don't even think about Christmas cards until August/September but when i was playing the other day with my triangle dies and my marbled papers i was laying out the triangles in various ways to see what i liked and one of them looked like a tree i thought, so made a couple up.I think come September i shall make a few more.
5x7white cardbase. I die cut a mixture of the small and large triangles from my marbled paper and the fancy top layer from white card and adhered together. I cut a piece of white card smaller than the card front and dry embossed with a snowfall EF, i splashed on some of the same inks i used on the marbled paper. I layered onto a piece of purple card and then the cardbase.
On a piece of white card i die cut a curved border edge die and a stitched line die. I stamped the sentiment using colbalt archival ink. I then die cut a few stars from the little left over pieces of marbled paper. I added one of the larger stars on top of the tree. A few touches of glitter glue to finish.
A close up showing my pink, purple & blue marbled paper better.
Second version using marbled paper in blues & greens.
Items Used:
Altenew Shattered Triangle die set
Star dies
Stitched Curved border edge dies
Justrite sentiment stamps
Aquatint inks
crafters companion snow embossing folder
