Today's prize is generously provided by 'Lil Inker Designs, so for my card, I used one of 'Lil Inkers' awesome Cover Up Dies to create my own Christmas tree! I cut a dark green triangle shape and ran it through my die cutting machine with the Dotted Scallops die. It reminds me of garland! I adhered another piece of lighter green paper behind it so the color shows through the holes. Next I added some gems I found in my stash, a die cut star from Seasonal Stars and a hand cut tree trunk.
I used the Dual Dotted Border Builder Dies from 'Lil Inker to create the pieces for my background, and adhered them to a piece of red cardstock stamped and heat embossed with a sentiment from the Big Christmas stamp set.

ReplyDeleteI truly thought that tree was a die cut that came that way instead of one that you put together yourself.
