Hi! Thanks for visiting me today! I have been playing with my Magnolia Fall Club stamps again. So cute! As soon as I was the mini Tilda's I had this idea of having a little angel sitting on a Christmas tree. So this is what I came up with.
The Christmas tree is simply a triangle piece of cardstock that I have cut out strips of patterned paper and punched and inked the edges, then attached them in a bit of an alternating pattern. Its a little hard to see in the photo, but I then applied a fair amount of Glimmer mist and some liquid pearls to the tree. The little hearts are punched and layered, then some glossy accents applied. If you like them, there is a great tutorial HERE (except I didn't make mine to buttons, just embellies).
The layout is fairly simple. I used a sketch from Papercraft Planet, its the first time that I've played in one of the challenges over there so I hope I upload the photos correctly, lol. I thought this idea needed a nice easy layout as there is so much detail in the tree and the papers are gorgeous Websters minis so they need to be allowed to show a bit :)
