Sparkly Christmas Tree

Hello there.  It’s the last day of January and inspiration hit for another clean and simple (CAS) tree Christmas card.


To reduce its size, new Tree confetti cut from Reverse Confetti was partially die cut on a stitch mixed media panel from my stash.  This die gives a negative cut and I was going to make a shaker card, but then decided to keep it really simple.  Gathered up some scraps of glitter paper and die cut them from the different sections then inlaid them into the panel.   


The Joy Word die is from SugarPea Designs.  It was die cut from a scrap of black foil paper and it’s shadow was die cut from a scrap of vellum.  The second part of the sentiment from Waffle Flowers Oversized Joy stamp set was black heat embossed directly on the panel.  For a bit of dimension, mounted the panel onto a white card base with a thick piece of white paper cut slightly smaller and adhered the Joy diecut  to finish. 
 
Super simple and sparkly, don’t you think?  Thank you for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Hi Trina! So lovely to see you here with us. I adore this card and of course ran right off to source the die here in the UK - it's really gorgeous and I just love how you used shades of mauve. Wonderful way to use plain or patterned snippets. A lovely sentiment die as well - brilliant card!

Hugs

Very, very lovely. I adore how you married a colour palette that instantly brings to mind thoughts of gorgeous summer sunsets and utilized it in a wintertime project. Stellar combo, my talented friend!
