We Wish you a Merry Christmas - A5 Trees

Hello Everyone

The last Monday Morning blog before the "Big Day".  I am going to finish off Christmas with this little shaker card using the A5 Trees Stamp Set.  You can find this stamp set and many more fabulous stamps on the Colourific Website here.

Materials Used:

A5 Trees

Cut n Emboss Christmas Folder

6 x 6 Card Blank

5.75 x 5.75 Blue Glitter Mat

5.5 x 5.5 White Mat

5.25 x 5.25 Light Blue Mat

5 x 5 Pearlised Mat

4.5 x 4.5 Pearlised Mat

4.5 x 4.5 piece of Acetate

Silver Sparkle Embossing Powder

Broken China Embossing Ink

Foam Tape

• Layer up Blue Glitter, White and Light Blue mats onto base card
• Use torn paper to ink hills onto 4.5 x 4.5 Pearlised Card then stamped Medium tree with Versamark ink and embossed with Silver Sparkle Embossing Powder
• Used embossing folder to cut and emboss 5 x 5 Pearlised Mat, then inked edges with Broken China Embossing ink. 
• Attached Acetate, behind the cut out oval
• Used 3 layers of foam tape around back of cut out oval to create the shaker element.  Used 1 layers of the foam down each edge so that I could shape the mat.
• Placed some extra-large glitter flakes ontocentre of stamped Chrismas Tree, and attached embossed layer to top.  Press firmly to ensure all glitter has been trapped inside the foam.
• Made a sentiment banner with stamps from my stash and added along the top of the oval.
• Finished off with some gems

                    Wishing you all a Merry Christmas.
