Today is my turn to post for the DT at the a2z Scrapbooking Blog, and after perusing the a2z Store for some stamps and stencils, I’m ready to go!
The color is really subtle, so here is a close up:
My 2nd card is 5 x 7” and was made with my new Hero Arts Swirl Tree
Stencil.
I know it’s difficult to see on screen, but it is very
sparkly IRL! I mixed a little green ink with White Embossing Paste for
the tree, and before it dried, I added clear glitter. My sentiment is stamped with Versamark and Liquid
Platinum embossing powder.
Here's a close up of all that sparkle:

Such lovely Christmas trees, Barb ... the soft colouring on the white against black is beautifully subtle ... and the glittery gorgeousness of the swirly green one is stunning! Anita :)

Great cards, Barb - love the white tree on the first, it is so pretty! I really must try adding colour and glitter to my texture paste because your second card is gorgeous :)
Both your cards are pure elegance, I especially love the chalkboard look and I'm heading back to take a longer look!

Love both of your festive Christmas trees, Barb. The first one, where you colored on the white embossing powder, is especially eye catching. I love the subtle colors.
Lovely trees, Barb! The chalkboard/white ink tree, sporting whispers of colour is ever so elegant; the swirly glittery green of the second, ever so gorgeous! You're making me feel all festive!
