STAMPIN' UP! WHIMSICAL TREES CHRISTMAS CARD

 After playing with Mint Macaron for last week's Colour Creations blog hop, I made a second card.  This one is a Christmas card, featuring the Whimsical Trees bundle and Whimsy & Wonder Designer Series Paper.  Mint Macaron with white and silver is a very pretty colour combination ... rather calming, don't you think?

Starting off with a Mint Macaron card base, I added a layer of Basic White card.  Onto this, I adhered three different patterns of Whimsy & Wonder Designer Series Paper, in varying widths.

Using the Christmas Trees Dies, I cut one tree from Mint Macaron card, and one from Snowy White Velvet Paper.  I stamped, and silver-embossed, dotty ornaments onto the Mint Macaron tree, and added a tiny star cut from Silver Foil Specialty Paper to each tree.  Before adhering the trees and stars, I added a length of White Glittered Organdy Ribbon to my card front.

The sentiment was stamped in Mint Macaron ink on a piece of Basic White card, and cut out using a Tailor Made Tags Die.  After stamping and silver-embossing the decorative holly on a piece of Basic White card, I coloured the leaves using Mint Macaron Stampin' Blends, and die cut it.  The tag and holly are tucked under the bow.

How pretty are the Iridescent Rhinestones I have dotted on my card front?  This is a new product, coming out on 4th January.  I think they complement the foiled accents on the papers beautifully, and go nicely with the White Glittered Organdy Ribbon.

Listed below are all the current products used to make my card.  If you live in Australia, and would like to shop with me for your Stampin' Up! supplies, you can get to my online store by clicking on any of the thumbnail images below.
