             Heard from the Heart (sentiment)

Embellishments: Brads: Real Red and Old Olive
                         Basic Pearls

Loads of Love Xmas card

You would think having time off work with a leg injury would allow for more cardmaking / scrapbooking, however it is surprisingly hard to do lying down with your foot elevated higher than your heart.
However I did manage to create this one.

I used masking techniques to create this card. The large tree from Lovely as a Tree stamp was stamped in Old Olive around the edge of Whisper White Card Stock and sprinkled with Dazzling Diamonds Glitter. I masked the trees and stamped the truck from the Loads of Love stamp set. I water coloured the truck and used some of the words from the Loads of Love Christmas sentiment in Real Red. And mounting the Whisper White onto Real Red Card.
I like the framing of the trees around the card and want to try some different images in the centre.

A Christmas Card

I saw a similar card (link below) and loved the idea. I use Old Olive Ink and the large tree from the Lovely As A Tree stamp set to create the tree branches at the top of the card. I then created the baubles by using the Circle Circus stamp set and stamping in versa mark, using the Heat & Stick Powder to adhere the Dazzling Diamonds Stampin' Glitter onto Real Red Card Stock. I used the 1" and 3/4" circle punches to punch out the baubles.I used a retired set call Best Yet for the sayings.
The background trees were also dusted with Dazzling Diamonds to give that Christmas sparkle.
