PPA Preview and Christmas Card

I needed a card FAST again and here is what I came up with. I liked the idea of stamping this tree from Evergreen in Marina Mist ink onto Whisper White card stock. The ideas just flowed from there. I dreamed of a blue shining star atop my tree, so I got my Marina Mist Stampin' Write marker out and used the brush end to "color" my Silver Glimmer Paper punched star.


I could not stop shining just yet, so I punched 1/2" circles from Silver Glimmer Paper and then layered on some Vintage buttons and added a large Basic Rhinestone to each one. I tied a a Marina Mist 1/8" taffeta ribbon around the base of my tree, then matted everything with Basic Gray and White and adhered it to my Marina Mist card. I added a sentiment from Fabulous Phrases and--Done! It only took about 20 minutes to design as I went along and complete this Christmas card.

I hope you enjoyed looking today and that you will leave a comment below. I really love to read them all!

Such cute tags Patti! I don't use that set much as they are so small, but they worked up so cute here.
