Decorating the Christmas Tree is still one of the highlights for our kids each year and this stamp really captures that celebration. I've stamped this beautiful silhouette in a deep hunter green, and then to capture some of the tones I was looking for, I came back with a deep teal marker over top - especially in the tree. Then to add the sparkle: I inked just the tree with VersaMark ink and then embossed it with Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder. It takes on the perfect blue/green tones with tons of sparkle.
The gorgeous paper is from My Mind's Eye called Breeze. It's GORGEOUS. I've added lots of detailing with my Spellbinders dies and my Grand Calibur, Using the Fleur De Lis Rectangles and Classic Rectangles behind the main silhouette embossing and sponging for some texture, the sentiment on Ribbon Banners Shapeabilities, and the beautiful bottom detailing with my Edgeabilities Classic Bracket. I have really enjoyed these Edgeabilities dies.
I also inked the sentiment first in a deep teal and then just inked the edges of the sentiment in deep green to get that two-toned effect.
You can also see the pretty ribbons....velvet and the lovely iridescent cream ribbon I love so much.
