To night's card was a quick but I think effective Christmas card.

I used the Painted Trees 3D Embossing Folder with a piece of Very Vanilla card stock.

To highlight the trees I used a Sponge Dauber and Old Olive ink. I gently sponged the ink over the raised trees. As the embossing folder is one of our especially deep 3D folders it was easy to get lighter and darker tones as the trees have multiple levels.

The greeting is from the Greetings of the Season stamp set and was stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink. It was cut out using a die from the Unbounded Love die set.

I tied a piece of Cherry Cobbler and Gold Satin Ribbon around the bottom of the card and finished it with a bow.
The card mat is Cherry Cobbler and the card base is Old Olive. The final embellishments were some Basic Jewels that were coloured with a Pecan Pie Blends Marker.

Rachel, what a fabulous effect you've achieved using the daubers on your Christmas trees. This is such an elegant card!
ReplyDeleteThis is really beautiful, Rach. I love the effect you achieved by sponging ink onto the embossed trees. The Cherry Cobbler accents look lovely - both the sentiment, stamped on an angle, and the gorgeous ribbon.
ReplyDeleteVery elegant card Rachel. You have achieved great variation in the colour on the trees. Thanks for reminding me about the great labels ion the Unbounded Beauty die set too. I don't use those nearly enough!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card, Rachel. That embossing folder is perfect for adding ink blending in this way to highlight all those deep branches. Adore that ribbon and bow too, perfect!
ReplyDeleteI love how you have coloured the trees, Rachel. Definitely one of the nicest I have seen and the pops of red and gorgeous bow set them off beautifully.
