Simply Saturday…flocked trees

Published by Julia Stainton at 9:46 am under Card Designs, Holiday

It’s Saturday…another busy Saturday as Christmas draws nearer! Only ten more shopping days to go! ;) I’m busy trying to finally get up our Christmas tree today so this entry will be super short. I just know you have things to do as well!

Christmas Peace

This is a super clean and simple design using this darling little Christmas tree set, Playful Christmas from Kitchen Sink Stamps. I just love the two step stamping and had to try it out with a little flocking. The trees were first stamped with the solid image in Soft Sky and Olive Olive. Using my Essential Glue Pad, I inked up the funky circles tree and stamped it right on top. Using blue flocking, I sprinkled both trees and then tapped off the excess. I love how the flocking changes the colors underneath a little and the flocking looks so funky with those retro trees. I just love this Figgy Pudding 6×6 pad of paper from Basic Grey. What great fun color combos and patterns, sized perfectly for designing cards. A mat of metallic red cardstock and Soft Sky borders my image and for a sparkly touch…some big fat clean rhinestones from Doodlebug Designs adds a festive touch to the top of the trees!

Hope your Saturday is simply wonderful!
