Catherine Pooler Jolly Trees Card

Posted by Tammy Chernow on

Instructions:

I started with a piece of 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 watercolor cardstock. I painted a green watercolor wash with the lightest color on top and blending to a darker color on the bottom. To give it a more organic look, I left some of the area blank.

While that panel was drying, I stamped some of the trees and the star with Versamark ink on some ivory 80lb. cardstock. Then I heat embossed them. After they cooled I die cut them with the coordinating dies and fussy cut one of the trees.

When the painted panel was dry I trimmed it down to 5 x 3 3/4. Then I stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink and heat embossed it. I then adhered three of the trees to the panel and used foam tape on the other 2 to give it some dimension. I used foam tape for the star. Then I used the Crisp Christmas sentiment sheets to add to my greeting with foam tape.

I adhered the whole thing to a piece of gold cardstock, trimmed just slightly bigger, then adhered it to an ivory 110lb. card base. And finally, I used a Gelly Roll pen to add some snow. It was pretty simple to make, and lots of fun!
