Treemendous Fun! by Samantha Read
Hello, Samantha here today and I'm sharing with you how I made three really quick Christmas cards. I used the fabulous Textured Christmas Trees, they're so fun and look great using traditional Christmas colours or bright and funky colours like I have used. I've recently discovered gilding flakes and just about every thing I make has some silver or gold on it, they really do add the perfect bling! My little Christmas cards are 9 cm squared and using a Sizzix die they have a faux postage effect. Cut these first so you know what size to cut your background pieces. I used distress inks for all my colours for these cards, This is my background, I swished my card in some spritzed ink, I love the random/watercolour effect using this method. Stamp and cut three trees, I clear embossed to get a nice, crisp image I can add water to. Using the same method as the background I coloured my trees. Using the small hearts stamp and the same colour I added a little detail to the background....
