I love images of trees and have dies and stamps a-plenty so this challenge is a real gem for me!
The challenge at LESS IS MORE is More than one tree
Here are a few cards I made with this challenge in mind.
This card has a Dreamweaver panel embossed with black embossing paste and sprinkled with Glamour Dust. The paper (something which I rarely use) is green gingham from Docrafts. The edges are die-cut with a Lil Inkers die and there are a couple of Sizzix snowflakes for good measure. Computer generated sentiment.
This is a simple card of diecuts. Dark blue base, Clearly Besotted sentiment and trees from Marianne Craftables, all with a little twinkle of Glamour Dust.
This one is a little outside the box... there is more than one tree represented here... pine and holly! Again a whole bunch of die-cuts, from Impression Obsession (I think) and again a sentiment from Clearly Besotted.
This is also for the challenge at Festive Friday, where there is a beautiful wreath as inspiration!
I think it also fits quite well with the Time Out Challenge which has this lovely picture to inspire!
This little one is from Penny Black slapstick stamps, simply coloured and twinkled.
It's for the Penny Black Challenge All wrapped up!
Although the white space on this one is brown, it's still a simple style. Again lots of die cuts, the sentiment is from Memory Box and the trees from Marianne's again with a couple of Memory Box deer!
This is the one I popped on the Less is More Blog. It's one of my favourite techniques, inking and masking! The trees are from Poppy Stamps.
The die cutting here is from Lil Inkers.
I hope everyone can have a bit of fun with this one... I could be making tree cards all day!
Crikey Chrissie you've been super busy again rockin' through your Christmas cards. Love them all especially the LIM one and the cutie snowman. Sarah xx
ReplyDeleteGood grief, Chrissie, I think you HAVE been making tree cards all day! But they are all stunning, I couldn't possibly choose a favourite.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this inspiration Chrissie - all those trees are just beautiful! I do love the snowy banks which you entered into the challenge site - it is so effective and elegant! :)
ReplyDeleteDidn't know tree cards could be so versatile! Love all your cards, of course, but the LIM scene is just so beautiful it has to be my favourite.

ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous Chrissie, you've been busy. Think the last one is my favourite though I do like the PB stamp. Carol x
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous range of tree cards - all so different in look and style too! I do love your LIM card as it is so elegant and has great depth and I love the white die cuts against the deep blue base too. Love your clever take with the wreath - you could link that up at Festive Fridays as it picks up both the wreath and the wicker basked. These are all tree-mendous :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great variety of tree cards, Chrissie. Love the wreath.
ReplyDeleteChrissie, just had to come over from the LIM post to tell you how much I adore your card there, and look at all the plusses I found here on your post! You do beautiful work; I'm your newest follower......
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I wasn't already following your blog -- your designs are gorgeous! Especially love the tree card posted on the Blog -- it's a stunner!
ReplyDeleteWow I love all of your trees cards! The one on the challenge blog is my favorite also as I love that technique for creating the hillsides with the masking and sponging!
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed about all the cards in your post. :-) All of them are very special and wonderful, but the last one is my favourite. :-))
ReplyDeleteHave a nice Sunday, Sonja

ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards Chrissie! I love the Memory Box 'Merry Christmas' die-cut sentiment - might have to put that on my wish list. The inking and masking technique, which I also love - can you tell me whether you find it easier to work form the top down, or the bottom up? Thanks. Stef x
