One-layer Christmas tree

Hello hello! I cannot believe it's been weeks since I last posted. I did do some colouring in these past weeks and also managed to create a few cards, but did not find the time to post everything on my blog.

Anyway, I also need to get on with my Christmas cards, so I created this one for a couple of current challenges.


I used 2 colours of distress oxide inks to stamp the blueprint tree by Stamper's Anonymous onto kraft cardstock and then spritzed with shimmer spray to make the colours 'light up' and add a soft sheen finish to the kraft cardstock. I did lose quite a bit of the detail as well, but I was able to overstamp the image, thanks to my MISTI. I added a bit a white colouring to the tree and ornaments using a coloured pencil.

I'm playing at:

Timeout challenges - Holidays (optional: one layer)


CAS Christmas - Masculine


CCAYR - Non-traditional colours

Daring Cardmakers - Anything but white (card base)

    Your tree does shimmer on the kraft card, Marianne. The Misti is great for overstamping and it really brings back the clarity. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Christmas. xx

    Great idea to use the DO inks to stamp on the kraft cardstock - all the bright colours and a nice masculine background! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Time Out! Jill
