Welcome to Week 9 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 using the Spruced Up Outline dies in last week's card I decided I wanted to have another play with the dies but this time the tree outline die.
To start with I cut strips of Pear Pizazz, Granny Apple Green, Garden Green, Evening Evergreen and Early Espresso and glued them to a piece of random cardstock. I then die cut these pieces using the largest tree outline keeping both the outline piece and the inner piece.
I then glued these to a piece of Basic White cardstock that has been embossed using the beautiful Whimsical Woodland 3D embossing folder. I have then added stars to each of the trees that have been cut using Real Red Glimmer paper and the star dies from the same set.
The sentiment is from the Brightest Glow stamp set and has been stamped in Garden Green and die cut using the corresponding die from Labels Aglow.
Finally I have wrapped a piece of Garden Green ribbon around the band of the card and tied a piece of that and the matching Real Red ribbon around the band. I have also added a couple of In Colour Opal Rounds to the sentiment panel.

Lovely card Theresa, I love how you’ve co ordinates the outline and solid trees on your card
ReplyDeleteOh, this is such a great idea!! I love the striped trees, and how you've used both parts of the die cut. Fabulous card!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of the trees die cut from strips of different greens - they look great, in both the solid and outline forms. Lovely use of colour on a crisp white background, T. Such a great design!
ReplyDeleteTheresa I love your idea to use both the outline and solid trees and then to layer them in this cute way. Love how you have tied both ribbon colours around the ribbon band.
ReplyDeleteTheresa, I love your layered trees and the embossed background layer. Lot’s of lovely white space! Caroline.
ReplyDeleteHow festive and modern do these trees look in strips of vibrant greens and in both the solid and outline forms! A fantastic design, Theresa!
ReplyDeleteA fabulous card, Theresa. All the texture with the dry embossing and the colours in your trees is very cool.
ReplyDeleteWow, Theresa - I love you take on Christmas trees. The striped solid trees together with the outline trees are gorgeous , and especially when on your embossed white background. Love the addition of stars and ribbon. It all works together so well. xxx
ReplyDeleteTheresa, what an ingenious way to build your multi-coloured trees. They look fabulous against the embossed background. A terrific card.
ReplyDeleteHow great do these trees look! Love the strips and colour combination and then to have that in the outline trees too. Perfect! Of course a little bling star is just the icing on the cake. Hugs Sharon xx
