Even though it is mid-October, I'm already full swing into Christmas crafting! I love Christmas! The happiness that the holiday brings always makes me want to extend the season of joy for as long as possible. Since I make stuff, it is easy to say I "Have" to get a jump start. The truth is, I "Want" to get started as soon as the Fourth of July is over. Weird, I know. No haters, please. :-)
Snowy Trees on a Peaceful Card |
Martha Stewart Spider Web Punch Around the Page Edge Punch |
I thought this punch made cool looking "branches" for pine trees. I realize that there is a lot of creative license going on here and maybe it is delusional, but that is my story... and it does look branch-y to me. After punching the strips of paper I smooshed the tips of the web/branches into White Daisy pigment ink and used white embossing powder to create "snow". I did the same thing to the stars on the top of the tree. They were leftover scraps of Outdoor Denim before they became white stars.
Web - Branches are adhered at the tops of each strip so the bottoms stick out a bit |
