Oh, Christmas Tree

Hi everyone.  I've made a Christmas Tree card to play along with a couple of fun challenges.  I used a pretty tree die called Corbel Tree Collage (Simon Says Stamp).  The die cuts away the design leaving the card front with the aperture.  I cut it from both white card stock and from card stock layered with Persian Dawn (Cosmic Shimmer) Gilding Flakes.  I love the beautiful colours from these gilding flakes. :)  It took me a while to add all the little bits on top of the background, but I'm happy with how it looks finished.

Close-up ...
The photo from above shows a lot more of the shimmer of these beautiful gilding flakes. :)


And sending it to Rudolph Days June Challenge - Anything Christmas Goes.

I so appreciate all the hard work of the Owners and Designers from these challenges.  They help keep my Christmas card stash growing throughout the year.  Thank you!

And thank you for stopping by!

    Stunning Christmas tree, Loll! The shimmer of the gilding flakes and the shine of the heat-embossed sentiment are so beautiful! It was worth the time and effort to add all the little pieces onto top of the background. The dimension and effect is absolutely wonderful!
    I hope you've enjoyed your special day! :-)

    Your cards are always inspiring Loll. This one had me wondering how on earth you had the patience to position all those pieces so perfectly! I’m hopelessly late but I’m also here to deliver birthday wishes. I hope you had a wonderful day. Vicky x

    Gorgeous tree with the mulitcolored flakes, Loll! So the flakes are showing through cut apertures from the panel behind the front one? This simple yet elegant card is really striking! I appreciate the work you went through with those flakes...and it was worth it! Thanks for sharing it with us at Christmas Craft Creations!
