Cards and More Shop Blog - Challenge #18

Hello, my friends!

Welcome to Challenge #18 at the Cards and More Shop.

This month we have a photo inspiration:

There's lots to work with in that photo, isn't there?

I decided to have a little play with my Distress Oxide Inks on kraft cardstock.

Here's what I made:

I began by cutting my my tree out using the Dutch Doobadoo template,

 for both the Tree and the Easel.

I distressed the edges of the tree.

I heat embossed the design using the Enchanted Gold embossing powder.

It's so pretty and glittery!

Next, I inked the tree using Distress Oxide Ink in Peeled Paint, 

and a little Fossilized Amber around the edges.

I then spritzed it with water. 

After it was dried, I buffed the embossing with a paper towel.

Finally, I added pearls to the center of the star-bursts. 

You'd never guess that my tree decoration stamping came from an ocean themed stamp set! lol
