This was the Project of the Month in my November newsletter which went out yesterday. I thought I would try my hand at a slightly vintage feel Christmas Card using one of Stampin' Up!'s most popular and versatile sets - Lovely as a Tree.
The piece of patterned paper was started as Very Vanilla cardstock and I built up the effect using both Lovely as a Tree and En Francais stamp sets. The rest of the effect was achieved using sponging and spritzing in a few different colours. It's not visible in the pic but I also added some Dazzling Diamonds to the main tree image for a little sparkle!
Materials
Stamps: Lovely as a Tree, En Francais
Cardstock: Kraft, Riding Hood Red, Old Olive, Very Vanilla
Ink: Old Olive, Always Artichoke, Close to Cocoa, Chocolate Chip, Creamy Caramel
Other: Dazzling Diamonds, 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon, Brads, Stamping Sponges, Spritzer Tool
