OH CHRISTMAS TREE

I'm playing with another Tim Holtz stamp set Watercolor Trees - inspired by the sketch at Sunday Stamps.

I used Peeled Paint Distress Oxide for the middle tree for its base and spritzed the stamp with water to give a watery effect.  I used Twisted Citron for the other two trees.  For the layering I  used Versafine Shady Lane and Tulip Red for the decorations.  I used Versafine Portobello for the pots and left them without colouring them.  I added the sentiment twice as per the carol to fit in with Sweet Stampin Challenge.  A touch of Wow metallic silver sparkle along the edge finished off the card. 

I had to be firm with myself to leave this card somewhat CAS and not fill in all that background!! 


I'm adding this into the following

Sunday Stamps - Sketch 
Peace on Earth - mood board - christmas trees 
Allsorts - Traditional Christmas Colours 
Inspired by Song - Christmas Carol
