TREES AND TRIANGLES

Two cards today for the Twofer Challenge (trees), the Color Hues Challenge (navy & turquoise) and CAS Christmas (Christmas tree).  Since I used die cuts I'm also entering my card at Die Cut Divas (holidays).



Began by blending chipped sapphire and broken china DO ink on a piece of white card.  Die cut the tree line in white, also the larger tree and hand cut the second snowbank.  Put this all together on a card base.  Then added the sparkle snowflakes, some spectrum noir shimmer on the snowbanks and the little sentiment.  Difficult photographing the shimmer so it wouldn't be so dark.

For my second card, I snipped off the trunks of the largest tree from the tree line die after cutting it multiple times from watercolor paper.  Loosely watercolored them in pale pink, yellow and lavender.  Brushed the edges with some copper metallic ink.  Arranged on a background piece and added a copper border.  Die cut the sentiment several times for dimension and completed with copper sequins. 




 Thanks for stopping by today.

  6. Betty lovely cards. The white trees on that lovely ombré like background just shine out. Your graphic but subtlety colored triangles are a fun change on the trees. Thank you for playing along at Twofer Card Challenge #31.

  8. You are a girl after my own heart with all the shimmer, shine, and schparkle on your designs, Betty! You've blended a beautiful sky filled with glittery snowflakes falling on a white winter wonderland for your Christmas card and I love all the coppery accents of your geometric hugs design! Great shimmer from the card base, the copper frame and the pretty soft colors of your tree triangles! Thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #31! Keep well! Hugs, Darnell
