Create with Liz: Tis the Season to be Jolly Card

Hello!

I was honored and excited that my card was chosen for the Creative Scrapbooker Magazine's November Card of the Month! I am hoping to make it to the second round of voting! We will have to wait and see! This card was such a fun one to create! I used one of my favorite products in the October-December catalog! Love Z8053 Holly Embossing Folder + Stencil! This fun bundle is perfect for embossing and stenciling the embossed area! You will have hours of fun using this product!

I colored the tree by creating a stencil. I cutout the tree using thin cuts. After you stamped it in intense black ink, take the stencil and place it over the tree. Take a sponge dauber and sponge ink all over tree with sage ink, then sponge and shade branches with pine ink. Add Carnation Red liquid pearls dots to each tree light. I glued a black star die to the top of tree, adding some black diamond stickles glitter glue to each black star. Love the extra sparkle it gives those stars! I did add a few more black stars and small stickle dots around the tree too!

Here's instructions to color your tree:

I created my own stencil by cutting the tree out using the tree thin cuts and a die-cutting machine. Leave a space around the stencil for sponging.

I took my stencil and placed it over the top of another tree that was cutout from the tree thin cut.

First, sponge sage ink all over tree and darken the areas between the branches. Take the pine ink pad and sponge underneath the branches to give it a more shaded look.
