Christmas Card Trio

Morning all, Kirsten here again. I'm covering Lisa's blog posts this week. She hopes to be back next week.
 
 Today I have three cards that began with one idea.
 
I thought about using the Imagination Crafts Fir Trees stencil as a template, so I applied
Silver Sparkle Medium through the stencil onto Woodware ribbed, kraft card..............
 
 
 
When it was dry I used a craft knife to cut out both trees & attached the ribbed card onto an Imagination Crafts background square - Blue Snow - that I had previously scraped Diamond Sparkle Medium on to with a palette knife............
 
 
I added some Hobby House aurora sparklers & pearl medallions, some diamond mesh & the greeting from the Woodware Clear Magic Patch Robin stamp.
 
For the second card I used the smaller tree, with patterned card  - Hobby House Snowflake Flurry Stripe & Ann Marie Designs Powder Blue Dottie. I added some Silver Stickles, liquid pearls & stipple foiled Diamond SM around the edges..............
 

 
 
For the third card I applied white gesso through The Clearing stencil onto Anna Marie Designs Lavender Lace Dottie card & used a torn piece of paper & Woodware Fluffy Stuff to make the hill for the tree to stand on.......

  3. Clever ideas, second card is my favourite, just think the backing papers set the tree off nicely.

  8. Beautiful cards. Love the idea of using the aperture left after cutting out the trees. No waste.
