Winter Wonderland

I love the gorgeous pine tree image in the new Sleigh Ride set from Artistic Outpost.  For this card, I stamped it two times overlapping slightly in the center.  Next I distressed the heck out of the edges of the ivory panel.  I squirted Stickles Glitter Glue on my finger and dabbed it all over the trees for a shimmery winter sparkle.

I finished by stamping the Merry Christmas sentiment on the same ivory paper and distressing and inking the edges before attaching with foam tape.  

I attached the entire image to a handmade embossed paper base using adhesive about 1/2" from the edges, so I could curl and fold the panel for a bit more dimension.

This card is for the Gingersnap Designs challenge of Neutrals Plus One Color ... I love the peaceful serene feeling the single color gives to this winter scene.  It's also for the Moxie Fab World Jolly Holiday Greetings Challenge ... remember, it's never too soon to start making those holiday cards ... just one a week gets you that much closer to done.

Happy Friday!

Oh Steph I love, love, love this!!! I actually thought the panel was canvas at first, so deliciously distressed it is. Beautifully shabby, elegant, vintage, CAS - all at the same time!
