The Greetery Nordic Tree Christmas card

 



Hello everyone, and welcome to the new challenge at ABC Christmas Challenges.





Fabiola is our lovely host for the April challenge, and she has a prize for the randomly chosen winner 

a 30$  gift card from your favourite store.

Our themes this time are

'H  is for Hat'

&

'I is for Image Only (no sentiment)'


I made a gift tag for my Hat using the Papertrey Ink Tag Sale Quilted die and inked it with very pale blue ink after masking off a small hill. I spattered some white ink for snow, and while it dried, I stamped, coloured and fussy-cut the Hobby Art Rockin' Robin stamp and log.




For my image-only card, I used The Greetery Nordic Christmas Tree cut from green foil card to give it some shine. I embossed a die for the base card and inked it as above, adding a cut from Spellbinders Stylish Ovals, which I embossed with a snowfall E/F. This provided the background for my shiny tree, and I topped it off with a gold star.






I'd like to play along at

Hugs,

The green foil tree is very striking with a stylish feel, the little Robin tag a delight and pretty shape (would be a great fit for our theme a thttps://tag-alongandatc.blogspot.com/).

Beautiful cards, Carol! I love that your robin is wearing his hat at a jaunty angle and your foil tree is the bizz. Thanks for joining The Christmas Kickstart Challenge with Gail and me this month, Jo x
