Tree .....

After watching a demo by Tim Holtz I decided to try this Christmas Card make using a stamp from the bottlebrush trees set of stamps .....

The card base is a brown Kraft card measuring 3.5 x 5.5 inches. Ithen cut a matt from white smooth card and used a stamping platform to stamp the tree. I set up the card and stamp and used 4 different colours of Distress ink. Once applied to the stamp I spritzed with water and stamped the tree on the card. Allowing the ink to dry thoroughly. I then cleaned the stamp and applied Versamark ink to it stamping the tree exactly over the original image. I then removed the card and applied 'Sticky Stuff' embossing powder which was just melted and then applied some crystal glitter whilst still sticky. The excess glitter was brushed off with a stiff brush. I added some splashes of white pen around the tree.

The finish is misty, glittery and colourful. I then edged the card with more distress ink and a blending brush and matted onto some textured yellow card before adding to the card front to finish ....

I was going to add a sentiment but decided I liked the simplicity of the card as it was ....
