I had a chance to play with this beautiful new Tree Trimming Trio stamp set from Papertrey Ink over the long holiday weekend and came up with this card. I created the background paper on their white Guidelines II Grid Sheet with Dawn McVey's Damask Designs set (utterly gorgeous!), using the new pigment Sweet Blush and Spring Moss inks -- they yield such a pretty, soft, suedey color! I used a tiny holly leaf stamp from Borders & Corners {Oval} set with Spring Moss ink, stamped in between the damask patterns.
The tree was stamped onto Stamper's Select White cardstock and then die cut with Spellbinders Petite Oval Nestabilities die (largest in the large set). I inked the die with the Spring Moss pigment ink before die cutting, so the die would transfer the ink color around the embossed edge of the die cut. Then I used a Two-Way Glue pen around the oval edge and glittered it. The largest swirl on the tree was also glittered, as was the tree-top star. I love this non-traditional color combo!
Sweet Blush buttons & satin ribbon finish off this card -- another for my Christmas stash! I hope you all had a lovely long weekend and I'll be back tomorrow with a fun challenge between the Taylored Expressions Baker's Dozen designers (Hint: some more holiday card inspiration for you)!!
