I kinda of went out of the box on this one~let me
show you. They are really cute and no, they are not
hard to make.
Just your time!
I put together a few pictures to show how they were put
together.
The first two photos (side by side) are showing how to use stencil and how to
position the stencil to make it easy to cut them out. They are the right way
for a tree front and a tree back. Cut them out and glue a Popsicle stick
between the front and back of the tree. Stick the Popsicle stick in the spool
hole. Cover the spool with pattern paper. Decorate the tree with stamped images
and moss. The bottom photos side by side are the same project
except I used the
Brushed Christmas set Vol.1 by Darkroom Door. The only
difference it back of this tree will be Kraft cardstock, no image. Speckle
the tress with white acrylic paint. Add twine and small tags to the base of
the spool.
The card was created using the positive image of the
Christmas Tree as a mask. I stenciled the
Christmas Tree on the card front.
I then covered it with the positive image and stenciled the background
on using the
Lrg. Mesh stencil by
Darkroom Door. The Christmas
Tree was covered so mesh pattern wasn't applied to the tree. I then outlined
with a white uni-ball pen. A Star was stamped out and adhered to the top of
the tree. The trunk of the tree is covered with some some twigs. The
sentiment was added. To complete the card I speckled the tree with white
acrylic paint.
The envelope was created using Archival inks, the Small stencil/Christmas Tree
and the Merry Mail set. This is really easy and fun to create a envelope
that will go perfect with the card.
