Oh Christmas Tree

Good Morning everyone

Today is a couple of Christmas cards using alcohol ink coloured mirror card and a glitter texture paste stencilled background which is very hard to capture in the photos😀

White linen card base.  I took a piece of white card and lavinia pods stencil with stamperia artic ice texture paste and put to one side to dry.  On gold mirror card i added various green alcohol inks.  Once both were dry i cut the icy background to fit my base card and added little piece of green mirror card behind top and bottom and adhered to base.  I die cut a wonky stitched square from green mirror card and a larger white linen card, i mounted both on the card front, along with another little offcut of of the green to the top to just help break up all the white.   I die cut a little tree from white and added to the green square.

Stamped sentiment die cut into a stitched circle adhered to the top left corner.  Green glitter dots to embellish to finish.

I think you can just make out the icy stencilled background, it really does sparkle in the light

and version 2, blue & purple alcohol inks onto silver mirror card.  I used a snowflake stencil and added the arctic ice direct to the card front.  Once dry i added a white die cut square and smaller square die cut from the blue inked silver mirror card. I added thin slivers of the blue mirror top and bottom. Stamped sentiment added with foam tape, i used a hole punch on off cuts of the mirror card to make little faux gems to finish.

I think you can just make out the snowflakes in the background and how the light really plays on the alcohol inked mirror card
