Hello! The inspiration for this Christmas card was the Sketch Challenge at Retro Rubber Challenges. I did turn the sketch to make a horizontal design. The tree image from Let It Snow set by Creative Clear Stamps (dates back to 2009) was inked 3 times with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copics. I decorated the trees with Gold and Silver Metallic ornaments simply made with hole punches. I used a vertical sentiment from Repeat Impressions Stamps heat embossed with Silver EP. I edged the panel with Silver Metallic marker before attaching to a white card base.
Challenges:
Retro Rubber: Challenge 74 Time to Sketch. Have had Tree Stamp since 2009. The sentiment stamp is over 1 year old or older.
The House That Stamps Built: Anything Goes Challenge O2517
The Paper Players: PP368 Tic-Tac-Toe challenge. Used row 1 down -Tree, Christmas, Gold/Silver
Have a great day! I love reading your comments. Theresa

I like those bright trees against such a clean, white background. Using the hole punch to make the decorations was a great idea and has worked well. Thank you for joining us at both Retro Rubber and The Paper Players this week.
