Card Art by Helen

Here's this month's sketch:

And here's the project it inspired:

This project combines the Christmas tree imagery in the Pine Tree Trimmings Bundle with Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler to create a classic Christmas card design.
 

The fir tree image from the Pine Tree Trimmings Photopolymer Stamp Set was stamped twice in the centre of a Basic White layer (4" x 5¼") using Garden Green Classic Stampin' Ink™. The solid tree image from the same stamp set was stamped on Garden Green cardstock, again using Garden Green ink, and cut out using the coordinating die from the Pine Tree Trimmings Dies.

Using additional dies from the same set, a star and two garland elements were cut from Gold Foil Sheets, and adhered to the die-cut tree. The tree element was then added to the centre of the stamped Basic White panel using Stampin' Dimensionals™

The sentiment was stamped on a 3" x ⅝" strip of Cherry Cobbler Cardstock using VersaMark™ Ink, and embossed using white powder from the Basics WOW! Embossing Powder. The embossed strip was adhered across the top of the die-cut tree with Stampin' Dimensionals at each end.

White & Gold Baker's Twine was wrapped around the two opposite corners of the card panel, and tied in a bow at the top left corner. The completed panel was then added to a folded Cherry Cobbler card base. Iridescent Foiled Gems were added as the final embellishments.
