HEART OF CHRISTMAS WEEK 20: STAMPIN' UP! BRIGHTEST GLOW TREES IN GREENS

 

The card I'm sharing this week  is a bit of a departure from my usual layout, in that I covered the entire front of the Thick Basic White card base with Designer Series Paper.  I used two of the patterns in the Lights Aglow DSP pack, and added a strip of Gold Metallic Specialty DSP across the join.

I die-cut one tree from Soft Succulent card, and one from Evening Evergreen card.  The star atop the  Soft Succulent tree was cut from the same Gold Metallic Specialty DSP as the horizontal strip.  I used Distressed Gold DSP for the star on the Evening Evergreen tree.

I added In Color Opal Rounds to the background, and affixed a bow made from Evening Evergreen Open Weave Ribbon

After stamping the sentiment in Evening Evergreen ink, on Very Vanilla card, I cut it out using a Labels Aglow Die.  I trimmed the left-hand end, to have the sentiment panel sit flush against the card edge.
