'O' Christmas tree card with video tutorial

http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/
Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Christmas trees".

In about a month it will be Christmas again. Time really flies. Can't believe that winter is around the corner already. It's really time to start with the Christmas cards. So this challenge is very welcome. I started with the stripes of the Stripes & Holiday Type stamp set. I stamped it with Simon Says Stamp ink in the color Fog. This challenge is all about Christmas trees and the Tree Line stamp is perfect for it, I stamped it with the MISTI tool.

 

The edges of the card I distressed with Black Soot Distress Crayon. And I've added some interest by swiping the crayon in vertical lines to create extra shading. Love the effect of it. The Merry Christmas is a stamp from Tim Holtz STAMPtember 2016 set. So cool that it's a mix of other stamp sets and has an unique size. With this stamp I've used Versamark and Gold Embossing Powder.

That's so cool - love the bold black tree silhouettes, and that wonderful texty background, and then the gold accents really add a touch of zing.
