Christmas Kickstart Challenge #55 - Make One for a Loved One


I love the theme this month at Christmas Kickstart... we are making cards for loved ones.  These are those special cards that take a bit more time, might be especially beautiful and unlikely to fit a challenge.  Such a great idea for a challenge!  My card is very graphic.  I took a wide variety of scrap black, gray and silver papers and cut each into an isosceles triangle, each one a bit different in size, to represent a forest of trees. The center "tree" was embossed with a background plate from Papertrey Ink on opal Stardream cardstock.  The tree was embellished with small rhinestones and a bronze heart.  Transparent snowflake sequins were also added.  The forest is mounted on a white woodgrain card base and tied with silver May Arts cord.  A simple, white embossed sentiment from Simon Says Stamp, Tiny Words Christmas was the final addition.

Enjoy.
