Christmas tree magic

Welcome to my blog for another Simon says stamp Monday challenge, the theme this week is trees. I have so many ideas, I know that I probably will no get around t creating them all in time. This week is super busy with family commitments as it is half term and Birthday day trips I will have very little time to create.

Back to this card.

I have pulled out my Tracy Evans boutique designs supplies today along with Lindy's flats and magicals, distress spritz, liquid tinsel in fine tarnished, texture paste twinkle Nuvo drops, embossing powder bright white and teal tinsel, bleed proof white ink and distress inks. Wow, I don't notice how many different products I use when I am playing.

As you can see the mounting layer is created with Lindy's using cling film on the wet Lindy's to get the lovely swirls and patterned shimmer. I used this also for the insert in the circle. 

The mounting has teal embossing around the edge.

 The background layer I used texture paste twinkle for the snowflake snippet stencil design, I love how this turned out. Such dimension. I added tiny drops of teal glitter Nuvo drops to the centers and when dry I ink blended peacock feathers ink gradualy getting lighter as I went down the card. So pretty. Then plenty of snowy splatter.

The central panel inside the circle is in fact a separate piece of card. White embossing, splatter and spritz give a super sparkly effect when tilted.

For the focal point I die cut some of the trees from some more background in a different colour way. This is green and blue but co-ordinates beautifully with the blue green teal. I added the liquid tinsel to these and embossed the tree tops. I finished them off with the tiniest of crystals. 

I layered these up on torn white paper gently inked for a snowy bank.

You can see the fab sparkle of the liquid tinsel here too.

I added a Merry Christmas sentiment to finish off this card

Here is another look at the finished card. I hope you enjoyed this blog. 

May be got some inspiration for your Christmas cards or a different technique to try.
