Oh Christmas Tree!

 Hello and thank you so much for visiting me!  I have a Christmas card today and it is the first one I have made this year.  The time has gone by so quickly  I can hardly believe its December next month.



I used a clear stamp set called O Christmas Tree by Creative Expressions.  I bought it in an online sale very cheaply recently and I love it!  It cried out for snippets of left over patterned paper and fussy cutting.  I stamped the trees and pots in Nocturne Versafine Clair on leftover pieces of patterned paper - the starry paper is Lily of the Valley - I treasure my pads of their paper and keep every snippet as they only do digital paper now.  The pots I am not sure which paper pad the snippets are from.  The tree stumps are stamped on snippets of white card and stamped with Distress Oxide - I think I used Frayed Burlap. When they were all stamped, I fussy cut them out and glued them onto a white panel then used my Misti to stamp the stars and sentiment in the correct places, I used Versafine Clair Glamorous. Everything is from the same stamp set. Then I got my quickie glue pen and glitter and added oodles of sparkle to the whole card - well it is a  Christmas card!  The panel was then added to a card base.  I was going to make a coloured card base but changed my mind and went with white.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Darnell's NBUS Challenge - Never Before Used Schtuff
Time Out Challenges - Quick - I can't believe how quickly December and Christmas have come around!

Thank you again for visiting me.

Take care and stay safe!  Hugs Christine xxx
