Oh Christmas Tree......


I told you that I prefer 'off-the wall' colours for Christmas cards diddle I? I really love this pretty lickle card! I used a pop-up stepper for the base and papers from Daisy & Dandelion. Both papers have glittery elements on them. I matted the panels onto pink cardstock then adhered them in place with foam tape. The centre panel is a little longer on this card to accomodate the punched border at the bottom. I wrapped the border with pretty snowflake print ribbon. The stylised tree was cut from white glittercard and varying colours of pearls were added as baubles. I punched a star from dark pink glittercard and adhered it to the top of the tree with silicone glue (only because I wanted it raised, otherwise I use PVA)
'Christmas' was cut twice from pink glittercard with a white shadow, then adhered with foam pads. A few more punched stars with pearl centres complete the card.
