Oh Christmas tree..

Good Morning everyone, i hope you are having a good week

Today is a couple of Christmas cards using a tree background die which i combined with glitter

I first made a background using oxide inks in shades of green, i then die cut the tree panel from it, attached to double sided adhesive sheet that id attached to cardstock and sprinkled over dark grey sizzix biodegradable glitter and burnished in.  I attached this panel to charcoal cardstock mat and then a white base card. 

I die cut merry christmas from white card and another from the charcoal card i used for matting the tree panel.  Layered the sentiment onto an inverted scalloped circle coloured using the same inks as the background, then matted one onto a white circle and one onto grey and then a vellum circle.  I then attached to the bottom right of my card.  I added a little die cut glittered tree to the centre of my sentiment.

Happy New Year to you All!

Good Morning all, well my last post of 2018. Sharing my last Christmas and New Year cards.

The photos don't really do these justice, i used pearlised white card, then a glitter card and then a satin board, so very blingtastic! 

4.4x6" size card.  I cut the first tree layer die from white pearl card, the second tree layer from glitter card, i mounted these onto a matching satin board with foam tape to add some dimension.  I wrapped a vellum strip around the front and then added my sentiments die cut from black card. 

A close up, this one shows the light hitting the satin board better.  This version is reds. 

And a pink version

Not a great photo, this is a purple version

You can just see the purple satin board in the background here.

Bronze version with champagne glitter card, i die cut this sentiment from

 chocolate mirror card

Close up.

These tree backing layering dies cut beautifully but very time consuming poking all the bits out.

Items Used:

Christmas tree layering dies

Concorde & Ninth sentiment dies

Jellybean Glitter Card

Mirri Satin board

White pearl card  - payper box

Vellum

Thank you once again for stopping by and all your support this year.  So its time to wish you all

 A Happy & Healthy New Year! 

Hugs to you all Emmaxxx
