When I began designing my card for CAS Christmas (Christmas tree), I hadn't thought of combining it with CAS Mix-Up (embossing with dies). As I worked on it though, I thought it needed more texture and what better way than to do some embossed trees for a background.
Since these woodland trees are tall and slender, I made a slimline card (3.5x8.5). I die cut the trees from some Kaisercraft sparkle pp (wish I had bought two pads as it's the most gorgeous paper ever and not available any longer). Dry embossed the same trees on some gray paper. Added the trees and sentiment and mounted on a lighter gray base. Then I so wished I had some rose gold sequins, but had to substitute little punched circles for some added bling. The sentiment came from the same paper pad, so matches perfectly.
Thanks for stopping by today.
