I was playing with my September New Release sets from Flourishes and wanted to do a chic and fun Christmas Topiary tree with some unexpected colours.
I think there are certain colours we all just gravitate towards and for me one of those colours it teal. It is such a soothing colour and can be paired with so much for the perfect colour punch. Today, pairing it with hot pink gives it that really chic and snazzy effect. I began by stamping this pretty berry topiary from our gorgeous set Holiday Topiaries onto Flourishes Classic White Cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Then I carefully trimmed around the design. I wanted to mat it out to give it some depth so I then cut out the Silhouette shape available for this set onto our Flourishes Color Made Easy - Emerald Coast card stock. Perfect matting! Then I coloured it up loosely with Copics giving it an open airy feel. Then because the pairings were so bold, I added the base of white with our Perfectly Pierced Classic Hourglass Die to place the topiary on. You'll also find some Color Made Easy Candy Pink cardstock in the design too.
The papers are MME Cambridge Court and I've added sewing, and a smattering of sequins to accent as well as the pretty seambinding ribbon.
