Frosty Christmas tree

It's been a while since I have made a Christmas card, but the time
is coming up quickly so better be prepared!


I used a spellbinders Nestabilitie die to make a stencil and inked the shape created with Distress inks, for a cold winter day sky effect. Then, I traced around the shape with a gold gel pen for an unobtrusive frame.
The tree, a Crafty Individual stamp (CI-462 "Large Christmas Tree") has been stamped with dark green dye ink.
The sentiment is die-cut out of an alcohol ink scrap (with rose gold metallic) and I added "frost" to the tree and on the snow with Stamperia Glamour - Sparkles in Sparkling White. This is both for texture and shine but is a bit difficult to see in the photos, I tried to capture the shine in this next one:


I matted the focal image on a pearlescent vellum card before adhering the whole to my card base.


Thanks for coming by,

    J'aime beaucoup aussi la manière délicate dont tu as introduit du rose sur ton fond, et ajouté de la couleur avec ton sentiment aux encres alcool... Encore une fois, c'est vraiment bien fait. Bravo Christine !! Bon weekend, bises
