HOC WEEK 9: STAMPIN' UP! MERRIEST TREES IN WINTER MEADOW COLOURS

 

For this week's Heart of Christmas blog hop, I have again created with the Merriest Trees bundle.  It is my most-used Christmas bundle so far this year, and very versatile.  I have teamed it with the gorgeous Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper.  (Sorry about the closely-cropped photo ... not sure what I did with my photo editing! 😄)

To complement the background paper, I stamped my lovely big tree in Smoky Slate ink on Basic White card.  I then over-stamped the foliage in Lost Lagoon ink, to keep it somewhat muted.  I die-cut the star, and some of the garland, from Silver Adhesive-Backed Glimmer Paper, and the rest of the garland from Pretty Peacock card (using Adhesive Sheet on the back, to make it easy to adhere once die-cut).

The tree base/pot was cut from Pretty Peacock card.  I used Pretty Peacock ink to stamp the sentiment directly onto another design of Winter Meadow DSP.  Silver & White Sheer Ribbon divides the two patterned papers, under the tree, and a bow made from the same ribbon was added on top of the pot.  A couple of sparkly gems from the Faceted Gems Trio Pack finish off my card.
