The writing is on the tree.

Hello crafters, today I have another make with the newly released Perfect Pairs, sets combining a small stamp set and coordinating ephemera cuts, designed to simplify card making.
But... proof you don't need image stamps to create a card and you CAN use just the stamp set (or just the ephemera), I made this Christmas card with Serene Winter:

I first added "white" pearlescent watercolour (Gansai Tambi) on a piece of white cardstock and let it dry.

Next using a hand cut stencil and Distress inks I coloured the inside of the tree with green and the outside with both red and blue. 

With the stencil back in place I stamped the sentiment from the set as if it was a garland.

The dictionary definition stands in for the tree pot.

Finally I double matted the image, added "baubles" and a star brad to finish.

As before the Gansai Tambi colours are so shiny... 

You can find the 4 Perfect Pairs in the collection here, stamp set and ephemera bought together benefit from a 20% discount but can be bought individually.

Thanks for coming by,
