This week at Papercraft Star, the challenge is to include a tree somewhere on your project. We have also provided this lovely inspiration photo that is always use if you choose.
I just love Christmas but I have to say it seems to be getting here too quickly! This year has flown by!! For the challenge this week, I created a Christmas card. I am always inspired by multi-media projects on canvases or in art journals, so that was some of my inspiration for this card.
I used the Text Writing Backgrounds CMS digital sheet from The House Across The Bay to create my Christmas tree. First I sprayed it with Spanish Moss and Wheatfields glimmer mist to give the image a green and shimmery look, once dry I punched 4 Scallop circles, inked the edges with walnut stain and cut them apart. Layer them up, fluff your scallops and voila, a tree!
I typed my sentiment out on my vintage typewriter, cut them out, inked them and added an outline. The snowy hills were created from a label that I cut out on my Silhouette, cut apart, inked with tea dye distress ink and covered with frost white all purpose ink for shimmer. I am pleased with the way it turned out, and I think it definitely has a similar feeling to a mixed-media piece.
I had some leftover inspiration, so here is an additional card for you.....

Definitely a mixed media feel and SO cute! I love how you created the tree Regan. :-) Wonderful card!
I was so struck by this card when I first saw it - and it is so you, Regan !! (I am hoarding that MME paper myself, but now I think I am going to have to use it !!) Cheers !
Not one, but TWO cards! So much inspiration! Love how you made your tree with the scallops!
