Hi everyone. Today I'm sharing a clean and simple card featuring Penny Black's Evergreen Tree die.
Another small panel of mixed media paper was smooshed with two shades of green Brushos. Once dry, the largest tree in the set was die-cut. The top layer of the snow tree was die-cut from white card stock four times, adhered together and glued to the backing with the green Brushos. Crystal Glaze was added to the recessed areas (green) and left to dry. This give the tree a stained glass look.
More Crystal Glaze was added to the top of the snow hills and all over the snowy part of the tree, then both all were sprinkled with diamond dust.
Once dry, the scalloped square was popped up on foam onto the card base. The tree was popped up on top of the scalloped square for more dimension. A sentiment was stamped underneath the square using Broken Glass.
Here's a close-up ...
and here's an even closer look at the shine and sparkle ...

Beautiful card, love how you did the tree and background <3
Beautiful card Lol! I was wondering, is Crystal Glaze better than Glossy Accents?
Oh WOW, I really love this card Loll. A beautiful background for the lovely tree. xx
Reply to Cheryl. I am really liking the Nuvo Crystal Glaze. I find that the nozzle doesn't get clogged like it does with Glossy Accents. Loll :)
Wow..Gorgeous shine and dimension on your snowy tree scene, Loll. I love how your tree looks like stained glass with your layers of Crystal Glaze. TFS your beautiful card and your step by step details. Hugs..Nancy
Lovely tree with the Crystal Glaze (I think it has more shine than the Glossy Accents so I've ordered some). Beautiful snowy hills and blue sky!
Love, love, love this shiny, snowy tree, Loll! The green is so bright and pretty and the glaze makes me think of glass candy! Lovely background too!
gorgeous Loll, I love that stain glass technique and need to try it :)
I love the icy look you gave your tree with the crystal glaze as well as the sparkle from the diamond dust. You also achieved a remarkably clear impression on your sentiment using distress ink. Your soft blue makes such a beautiful background and did love the unique way you created the snow drifts.
An adorable little winter scene with a big impact, Loll! So much amazing dimension and techniques packed into a perfectly CAS card. Love the look of faux stained glass. xx
This little tree is a work of art Loll, the process with the four layers, crystal glaze added to the green Brushos and to the snow is just wonderful - very sparkly and yes looking like stained glass... lovely card and the scallop edge gives a lovely finish
Wow Loll, what an amazing card, and the mini-scene is full of detail and dimension!
Blessings

Such a small image but boy does it pack a punch Loll! Your background is beautiful and I'm loving all the shine and gloss of that snowy pine tree! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! :0)
Such a cute little square of wonderful mixed media elements. The smooshing looks so pretty and the die cut hills are fabulous. The little tree just pops and looks glorious and super shiny. Nice finish with the bling on the snow hills and the snowy parts of the tree. Petite and beautiful CAS card whilst mixing the medias.....I love it x.
Another beauty, Loll, and thanks for the close up which so perfectly showcases all that sparkle and shine!
