The Christmas tree is made from layers of folded strips of paper. I saw this in "scrapbook Inspirations issue 47. There is a gorgeous LO on page 63 by Beckie Dreyer, using this technique. I liked the effect of this, I think I might try it in lilac and pink!!
The star at the top of the tree is gold, I wanted to age it a bit so I used a nail file to sand it then inked it with brown stazon. The papers are from stash...no still haven't bought any new stash!! If I manage to stick to it I shall have to buy some new stash in the new year as a reward!!!
Time to fly...well drive...over to Argos to get the reserved gifts, might pop into Matalan and Asda too, pick up the Turkey!!
Thanks for stopping by
Hugs

ReplyDeleteI so hear you on the internet shopping. When the shops began filling in October with all the crimble stuff people began the shoving & falling out. I hate it but I do try to brave an expedition into town on Christmas Eve for last minute presents to soak up the atmosphere.
Gorgeous tree card. I love how you used the papers & how colourful & fun it looks. Just like unwrapped gifts.
