I'm not sure how we came to be in June but here we are into the second week which means a colour challenge. Fabiola has chosen these soft colours for us:
My card came together very quickly once I'd had the idea, which was just as well as I was running out of time!
I used this Christmas tree die which I ordered from a cheap and cheerful website. I'm not sure of the sense in this as they are probably knock-offs and are flown round the world. Every so often I am taken in by the prices and choices. This set has many dies and you can mix an match them. Expect to see it again soon.
The background is Spun Sugar Distress Oxide ink. The tree is kraft and the border is grey. The star is also grey but I added glossy accents and glitter so it looks less grey now and more silver. The tassel is also pink.
Thank you for visiting, enjoy your day. x
I'm popping over to Pixie's Snippets Playground before they forget who I am. I used lots of snippets.

ReplyDeleteLovely card Alison.
ReplyDeleteI have this die from the same place!
Wonderful card Alison - and I'm delighted you came to play. That die is fabulous so am not surprised you were tampted. Sometimes I think I'm too sanctimonious for my own good. So many brands have their dies made in China anyhow - including Clarity (which did bring me up with a start!). I always thought they were totally UK and so proud of it. Until I read the small print on my trees silhouette die. Can't beat 'em so why no join 'em!
