Hi everyone,
Today is the reminder for the August CAS Christmas Challenge...there's still one more week to play along! For this post, I used one of my favorite Christmas trees ~
I started by embossing the tree in white, then used distress inks in 2 shades of green and gold foil for the star. I also blended Tumbled Glass ink, popped the tree up with foam tape and mounted it to the cross-stitch oval mat. I added a few sparkly sequins and embossed the sentiment in gold...and that was it :)
December will be here before we know it, and we would love to have you join us by submitting a card to the gallery! A big thank you to Loll and Bonnie for having me along as their Guest Designer for August...it has been such an honor!
Thanks so much for stopping by,
Supplies:
Stamps: Ellen Hutson - Christmas Scribbles (tree); MFT - Cheerful Christmas Greetings
Dies: Ellen Hutson - Christmas Scribbles (tree); MFT - Cross-Stitch Oval STAX
Inks: TH - Tumbled Glass; Twisted Citron, Lucky Clover; Pretty Pink Posh - Sparkly Clear Sequins; WOW - Super Fine Gold EP

wonderful soft colors and design make this such a pretty card, Barb
I totally have to agree with you Barb, this is one of my favourite tree stamps!! Love the look of it with Distress Ink!
What an amazing scribble tree that is! I don't remember seeing it before and I love it! You made it the star with your coloring and cross-stitch oval frame, Barb, and I love your choice of sediment to gold-emboss, too! Congratulations on being the GD!! Enjoy the weekend! Hugs, Darnell
I am so happy to be home with my 'heat tool' lol. it's the one technique that I truly missed while I was travelling and you have reminded me why, I just love the WOW of embossed images and sentiments!
That's a very cool tree making for a whimsical yet elegant card. So fun, Barb!
I love the soft and pretty look of the card, Barb! The ink blending is so beautiful and the sponging of the background is smooth. The gold star, heat-embossed sentiment, and the sequins are the perfect sparkling touch! Thanks again for being our Guest Designer this month. You've done a fantastic job! Hideko xx
Such a cute card, Barb! i’ve never seen this stamp set before, but it’s so unique. Beautiful job with the emboss resist technique. The framing highlights it even more. Fantastic card and it’s been fantastic having you GD for us again this month. xx
Love your soft and pretty die cut tree and watercolor wash background on your oval frame. TFS Barb. Hugs.
Your choice of trees happens to be MY favorite, too, Barb... just gorgeous in your choice of colors, perfectly topped with your pretty gold star!
You girls are so smart to get a head start on those holiday cards! xx

I had to pin this to remind myself of this tree. It's been a long while since I've used it and I love what you've done with it, Barb. Thanks for the inspiration.
Gorgeous! I love how you've colored the tree in an ombre fashion - so very cool!
This is such a pretty tree, Barb and I love how you embossed and coloured it. Congrats on your GD spot!
