I painted this tree, from Santa’s Sleigh, on water color paper and then cut it out with the matching Thinlits dies, page 24 of the HC. Tha Santa was stamped from the set Cookie Cutter Christmas, also on water color paper, and cut out with the matching punch, page 6 of the HC.
I used the negative piece of the cut out tree as a stencil, and sponged the tree on the card front. I then, popped up with dimensionals, the cut tree and laid it on top of the stenciled image. The sentiment is from the set Reason for the season, page 34 of the AC. I thought it needed a little something so I added the Brights Sequins, page 177 in the AC. It sounds like a lot of work but it was pretty simple. What do you think?
