oh Christmas tree

A wee while ago I was lucky enough to win a marianne die from Lothian crafts. Many will know I don't have many dies and am relatively new to die cutting and how to use them so I still find them a bit of a challenge.

This one i was inspired by Mandy at a sprinkling of glitter who has a similar if not the same die, her card has green  and white accents but it did give me an idea .

I decorated my tree by by firstly rubbing with versamark ink and embossing with holographic powder, it just adds a little sparkle. I then added some 'baubles' that were magazine freebies ages ago.

I kept it quite simple and added more of my fiskars snowflake embossed paper and some white ribbon and hand tied bow. The sentiment is a peel-off . I think it makes quite an elegant card so thanks Mandy for the inspiration and Lothian crafts for making me a winner.



I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:-

try it on tuesdays-white on white

Congratulations on being the winner last month Julye. A great use of your new die. I too am fairly new to die cutting. I've used embossing folders for years but not dies. I was thrilled to bits when Elaine chose me to be on the Design Team. Thanks for joining in the challenge again this month - you never know that new die may be useful in December's challenge!
