Monochromatic Green Tree

The current CAS Colours and Sketches challenge is 'Monochromatic Green' and I've used one of my favourite Christmas stamps to make this card.


Card blank: 7" x 5" white silk 
Stamps: Woodware 'Christmas Bubble Tree'
Embossing: Clear embossing powder
Ink: Versafine Olympia Green
Colouring: Faber-Castell colour grip pencils
Card: Dark green and white
Paper: Snippet of dark green paper
Other: Glossy Accents, Triple Thick gloss glaze

I stamped and embossed the tree and sentiment onto white card, this was trimmed to size, layered onto green card and attached to the card blank.   I stamped the trunk onto a snippet of green paper, cut it out and applied gloss glaze.   When dry, this was attached to the card.  I coloured the baubles with various shades of green and then added Glossy Accents.
