4. You may enter as many times as you like but each entry must be different
5. You may enter as many other challenges as you like
6. Have fun!





To make the card for my tree I started by putting some distress inks onto my craft mat and spritzing with some shimmer spray, before pressing some watercolour card into the inks then allowed to dry before stamping a tree using a stamp from Clearly Besotted Merry Little Christmas set, and die cutting it out. I created the frame using a square die from spellbinders.
  I went over all the lines in a glitter pen but it is not showing up in the picture which is a shame because it give the tree a lovely shimmer.
The sentiment is from a LOTV set and I have heat embossed in silver.


There rest of the DT have some wonderful creations to inspire, and you can find the link HERE

  2. Such a pretty tree Gail. Love the smooshed design with the frame which really brings the focus to the tree. Lovely linen card stock for your base and frame. Excited to be working with you on the DT at HLS Christmas Challenge! xx

  3. Hi Gail, Looking forward to being on the HLS Christmas Challenge team with you, and just became your newest follower. I'm loving this textured c/stock you've used and the way you've elevated the focal design. It's such a pretty tree, and love that you have selected the blue-green shades for this cute tree. Great way to add some sparkle with the sequins too. TFS & Hugs

  9. Great card, which simultaneously thanks to a frame, it can be a small image. A great way to swap her roles :-). Tree very exotic, simply beautiful. Sequins add motion on the card. I am glad that we are in one team.

  10. I'm finally set up with my new computer so can get caught up on commenting on my fellow HLS Chrrystmas DT's cards. I love the way you've framed the Christmas tree and scattered the sequins.
