It's hard to believe that we're closing in on the end of September, isn't it? Goodness, holiday season will soon be upon us and I am literally screaming for cooler weather to hurry up and get here.
Today, I'm sharing a gorgeous Christmas card featuring the new Bottle Brush Trees stamp set from Two Paper Divas Stamps. Hang tight to the end, as there's a sale to announce as well!
This glitter bombed tree was first inked with Memento London Fog ink. I chose a gray ink to give a little better definition to my tree. I tried both ways, with and without the underlying gray ink and trust me, you'll want to add a little undertone if you choose to heat emboss your tree.
Not only did I heat emboss my tree with pink glitter embossing powder, but I cut an additional piece of white cardstock with my scalloped die, pressed Versamark clear ink all around the edges, then heat embossed those edges to create a glittery backdrop for my tree. It is absolutely stunning in person.
I also made a glitter embossed backing for my sentiment which is a Tim Holtz chat sticker. To finish, I stamped my tree stand in TH distress ink and diluted some of the color with my waterbrush, then added a pretty twine bow. My brown snowflake papers are from The Story of Christmas paper collection from Echo Park Papers and Lori Whitlock.
I love this card so much, I'm not sure I can bring myself to give it away! I may just have to use it as a display piece. We'll see which one of my friends or family can talk me out of it.....
