Good Morning all, i hope you had a good weekend.
Today im sharing a set of Christmas cards i made with a very old Spellbinders tree die ive had for eons, i teamed it with inky backgrounds id made and baubles die cut from all those little scraps of paper we amass. The result is a white tree glistening with lots of glitter & nice glossy baubles.
Approx 4x6" finished size. I first made a background on white card with a mix of brusho's & pixie powders, i then splashed on white acylic paint to appear as falling snow. I then die cut the whole tree frame from white card, i added glitter glue to the tree and stamped the greeting.
To make my base card I folded white card in half and then place the outside frame die so that it sat over the spine and ran through my die cutting machine. I then attached my front panel to the card base.
I die cut baubles from paper, gently curved them and then attached to the tree, i doodled in ribbon string tying the baubles onto the branches. I then added glossy accents to the baubles to give them a lovely shiny finish.
Showing it side on so you can see the shaped card base
2nd version, this time i added some lovely little bunny rabbits again die cut from little snippets of grey card.
This Version has a distress Oxide ink background and i used little left over pieces from the marbled paper i made earlier in the year for my glossy baubles.
I made several of these cards and they are all different as the backgrounds all vary and the papers i used for my baubles.
