This is my card for this week's Merry Monday #84 challenge - to use a tree and some bling.
I made a center-step card, my first one. I have been wanting to try this technique for awhile. I inked the tree from SU Christmas Lodge in Old Olive ink and colored the tree trunk with a Choc. Chip marker before stamping it on MFT Smooth White CS. I added some bling with rhinestones and a punched star from gold glitter paper. Underneath the tree I added some molding paste and sprinkled Dazzling Diamonds glitter on it for some more texture and bling. I sponged Bashful Blue ink around the tree, then matted it with MFT Electric Red CS. The card base is MFT Smooth White. The papers are from MME Lost and Found Christmas 6x6 pad. The sentiment from Verve's O Christmas Tree is stamped in Choc. Chip ink on DSP and mounted with foam dimensionals. Lastly, I added the two green enamel dots from MME Lost and Found Christmas collection.
