I made this card using the sketch at Addicted to Stamps. It's one of those rare occasions when the idea in my head actually transferred well to the paper. The back panel is embossed using a Cuttlebug folder, and the tree in front is from one of my favorite stamp sets, Snow Swirled from Stampin Up. I edged the white panel with a Krylon gold leaf pen, and added tiny gold rhinestones to the centers of the flowers on the tree. I also went over some of the dots with the gold pen. Finally, I "embossed" the swirls on the tree with a Sakura glaze pen. I am very happy with the final result!
Stamps: Snow Swirled (SU)
Ink: Real Red (SU)
Paper: Real Red, Creamy Caramel, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White (SU)
Other: Cuttlebug embossing folder, gold leaf pen, Sakura clear glaze pen, rhinestones
This is fabulous! A terrific interpretation of the sketch. The embossing and tree are lovely. Sue x
