Welcome to Week 5 of the Art
With Heart Heart of Christmas. This year we will be hopping weekly until
the end of November, so hopefully we can provide you with some festive
inspiration. Our host for
this year's blog hop is the lovely Sharon Davern.
After admiring a card I saw recently on the Demonstrator Planning Place Facebook group created by Tammy Wilson, I loved it so much that I had to CASE it. Unfortunately for some reason I am unable to post the link to her blog here but here is my version.
The thing that appealed to me was the colour combination and it's use for trees. The colours that I have used are Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide, and Pacific Point. I started with a piece of white cardstock and Blending Brushes. I started with Parakeet Party on the top of the card, then added Tahitian Tide and finally Pacific Point at the bottom. In each case I made sure to blend the colours in between as well. Giving a lovely gradient of colours from the top to the bottom.
I then applied some Adhesive Sheets to the back of the coloured card and die cut a combination of solid trees and outlines from the Tree Lot Dies. I also did the same with a piece of White Glimmer paper. I then mixed and matched the 2 options. The stars on top of the trees are also from the Tree Lot dies and have also been die cut using White Glimmer Paper.
For the base of the card I have used Basic White cardstock and the Whimsical Woodlands 3D embossing folder. Before embossing the white cardstock I very gently rubbed the Tahitian Tide ink pad over the embossing folder to give a very faint colour to the cardstock.
The sentiment is from Christmas to Remember and has been stamped in Tahitian Tide and then die cut using one of the dies from Labels Aglow. I have used both Parakeet Party and Tahitian Tide Bakers Twine. Finally a couple of Opal Rounds have been added.
