Velvet Trees Card – Christmas Stampathon

Here are the cards I have made for the Christmas Stampathon where our theme is trees, trees, trees. I have made my cards using the Ornamental Christmas Dies and the Velvet Meadow designer series paper.

Colours used to make these cards are:

 

I created the Velvet Tree card using the following supplies:

Card bases – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side – I chose 2 Fresh Freesia and 2 Lost Lagoon
Pretty Peacock – 5⅛” by 3⅜” x 4
Basic White -5” by 3¼” x 4
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” x 4 for the inside
Velvet Meadow dsp

 

Using a Blending Brush I added Fresh Freesia ink to the centre of the 5” by 3¼” panels of Basic White card.

The sentiment, from the Festive Friends stamp set, currently on the last chance list was stamped with Pretty Peacock ink below the inked area. The panel was then glued to the Pretty Peacock layer and then to the card base.

I used a Blending Brush to add Lost Lagoon ink to the edges of the die cut trees to give a little definition. The trees were then mounted onto the inked panel on Dimensionals.
