Trees for Christmas

A quick post to show a quick card I made a while ago with one of my favourite sets Lovely as a Tree and thankfully it is not retiring as I would be very sad to see this set go. Unfortunately the sentement is a retiring Hostess set, and the bordering blue and brocade blue used in the sky are also retiring colours. 
There are some fab new colours to replace these and tomorrow sees the launch of the New Catalogue filled with gorgeousness - I'm so excited can't wait to place my order tomorrow.  

I used the direct to paper method for the top half of card for the sky and left bottom half white for snow, stamped the trees added the ribbon Glitter and sentiment, also "snow" was added to the branches with SU white gel pen and my first Christmas card for this year was made this is very simple to make if you are batch making your christmas cards.

Items used: Card night of navy, ballet blue(retiring), whisper white, Inks night of navy, bordering blue, brocade blue (both retiring), Glitter dazzeling diamonds, Ribbon night of navy, sentement Hostess set retiring

Until tomorrow when I will be posting the new catalogue details and more!

Bye for now

Lovely as a 'Christmas' Tree

I took inspiration for this card from the Catalogue and Idea Book and turned it into a Christmas card. My idea was to take a stamp set that wasn't christmas and alter it!! I am pleased with the way it turned out and I demonstrated this card last night to the ladies from the NWR as in last post. I used glitter on the Fir Tree - card on right but thats not showing up on photo!
