I started off by masking a circle in the centre of my white panel. The next step was to repeatedly stamp, then gold-emboss, one of the cute trees from Totally Trees around the circle, with the trunks not showing. I think they're a bit reminscent of palm fronds. After gold-embossing the trees, I stamped in Mint Macaron ink the solid overlay on each one.
My stamping and embossing is (perfectly) imperfect - which I think just enhances the charm of a handmade card, really!
Listed below are the Stampin' Up! products I used to make this card. In addition to those items, I used the retired Gold Stampin' Dazzle Marker, to edge the white panel.

This is so clever, Christine, and such a cool look!

ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous, Christine! I love the palm leaves effect you've created by using the trees with the sparkly gold and touch of Mint - so very clever! Xx
