While I was making
these cards I found two pieces that featured these cool trees in my Christmas designer paper scraps which I had trimmed off of a page of scrapping booking paper while I was working on
these cards. Once trimmed they were perfect for putting on A2 sized cards. The sky part was bothering me a bit - it was so plain and even in colour so I decided to change it up a bit. First, I sanded the area which was good but did not give me quite the effect I was looking for so I used my Swiss Dot embossing folder and a small hammer and embossed the area around the trees then sanded the embossing. That was more what I was looking for so on the second one I did not bother to sand until after I had embossed the sky area!! I stitched the layer to a green card front using my sewing machine and ivory thread, then added a little laser printed greeting punchie using double sided tape. Done! These were pretty quick and I really like the texture that the embossing and sanding added!! Adding these two to my stash of 8 making it 10!! Therese
