Oh Christmas Tree!

Posted by Jennifer

How's the Hustle and Bustle of your holiday going? I can only imagine it is as crazy & hectic as mine! With the bits and pieces of free time I had earlier this week, I was able to finally squeak out several cards identical to this one. I felt I was cheating some of my stamping friends by sending them store-bought Christmas Cards, so I made it a priority to come up with something that I could mass produce in tiny steps to send to them. I was really happy with how this turned out and I'm glad to report I'll have these in the mail tomorrow! :-)

For this card, I colored it with Prismacolor pencils, and added Diamond Glaze to the bulbs, making them really look like glass! I added gold Stickles to the star to make it sparkle just like the white cardstock I layered behind the image. It is white Glitter paper by DCWV that has a nice elegant sparkle to it. I'm sorry the sparkle doesn't show up very well in this picture.

I don't normally stamp the inside of my cards either, but this sentiment by DRS Designs was perfect for the image on the front of my card! I think it really gives this card that homey Christmas feel.
