As always, my final Christmas card of the year is the one I've made for Steve - this year I've made a rainbow Christmas tree.
I trimmed a piece of white card so it was slightly smaller than the card blank and placed it into my MISTI. I placed the Christmas tree on the card and lined up the two parts of the sentiment 'To a Very Special' and 'Husband' stamps. I stamped these several times in dark brown ink to get a good deep colour and then embossed them with clear embossing powder before attaching the panel to the card front. I stamped the tree trunk onto a snippet of wood effect paper, fussy cut it and attached it to the card. I then coloured the baubles with red, orange, gold, green, blue and purple Promarkers before adding Glossy Accents to make then shine.
To make this card I used:
7" x 5" white matt card blank
Woodware 'Christmas Bubble Tree' and Clearly Besotted 'Happy Birthday All' stamps
Versafine Vintage Sepia ink
Promarkers
Glossy Accents
Snippet of wood effect paper and white matt card
