Lovely As A Tree

Hi everyone.  This is one of the first stamp sets I bought when I started this amazing hobby (Lovely as a Tree - Stampin' Up!). :)  I still love this set.

A little inking directly to my tree stamp in different shades of green ink; then lightly misting with water and stamping onto my card panel.  Repeated these steps until I was happy with the results.  I finished with one last stamping, this time Versamark ink and then heat embossed to protect the tree image.

I used a few shades of blue to sponge the sky.  Added a torn snowhill at the bottom of my focal panel, stamped with a Christmas sentiment (retired).  For the finishing touch, sprinkled Chunky White Frantage and heat embossed to melt.  The whole panel is popped up onto the white card base.

    I still love Lovely as a Tree too - one old SU set I'd never get rid of. You did that single tree justice with the shades of green and a bit of spritzing. Beautiful sky with the chunky frantage snow!
