Wow, this technique was so fun but time consuming! In the Holiday Style Online Card Class, May Park had an awesome sample of a triangle tree shape stamped with all kinds of small stamps and I thought I’d give it a try.

Turns out I have a LOT of small stamps that worked so well for this technique.

I decided to round the bottom of my tree and make the sentiment curved to match. I used my GOLD delicata ink for the very first time (thank you, Wendi!) and I love it! See those stars? They are stamped with the gold ink.

I used the same gold embossing powder on the sentiment and on the right and left edges of the card. So pretty. My husband loves this one! But I don’t think it’s a candidate for mass production. Lol. 🙂

Have a blessed Christmas!

This card was definitely out of my comfort zone. I was nervous to use brown distress ink over my stamping. But vintage fancy was the topic of the day at Online Card Classes Holiday Style!

I used Neenah desert storm for the card base (I have a TON of this, but rarely use it) and I think it complements the vintage look.

After I finished all my stamping and inking I slapped some Versamark clear ink over it all and sprinkled Judikins sparkle embossing powder over it! Then I heat-set it and I think it turned out so fancy! I love that the glitter doesn’t come off on your hands when you use heat embossing.

Well, Kristina Werner totally inspired me to try this card…something very new for me! What do you think?
