August Rudolph Day

My first post today is a Christmas tree card for the Rudolph Day challenge using one of my favourite Christmas tree stamps.  I stamped the tree onto the front of the card blank and then stamped the tree onto green paper, the pot onto burgundy paper and the holly leaves, bow and star onto pink paper.  These were all fussy cut and attached to the card.  I then attached the nailheads to the tree.  My ink pad is drying out and the inked design looked a bit 'flat' so I ran a Wink of Stella on all the black lines to give some sparkle.


To make this card I used:
     6" x 4" white matt card blank     
     Woodware 'Holly Tree' stamp
     Versafine Onyx Black ink
     Lili of the Valley 'Heartfelt' paper
     Burgundy metal nailheads
     Wink of Stella

I am entering the following challenges:
     Christmas Crafts All Year Round 'Add a Tree'
     Rudolph Day 'August Challenge'
