Using Berry Burst ink I stamped the body of the tractor on scrap Basic White card. I also stamped the trailer with Misty Moonlight and two sets of Christmas trees with garden Green ink.

One large and 3 small wheels were stamped in Secret Sea ink onto scrap Basic White card. All the stamped images were then die cut using the Tractor & Co Dies. I also die cut some hub caps for the wheels from scrap Silver Foil.

A piece of Gold Striped Mesh Ribbon was wrapped around the panel, secured on the back with Sellotape before it was glued to Lost lagoon card base.

I used a Blending Brush to add Pretty Peacock ink to the small piece of Lost lagoon card. Ink was only added to the left side of the panel. When I had the colour depth I wanted, I stamped the open tree from the Pine Tree Trimmings stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink.

The baubles were stamped across the stamped tree image using Versamark ink. I covered the ink with Gold Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. The image was then die cut using the Pine Tree Trimmings Dies.

The sentiment from the Festive Friends stamp set was stamped on scrap Basic White card using Pretty Peacock ink. I cut the sentiment apart before adding it to the card front.

A ribbon bow and a trio of Gold Shaker Stars completed the card.
