Welcome to this week’s Merry Monday challenge! This week, Deanne challenged us to add a tree to our cards. I went with a Charlie Brown Christmas theme. You can head over to the challenge HERE and check out the beautiful designs created by the rest of the Design Team.
For my card this week, I stamped the Mama Elephant O Tiny Tree image onto Ranger watercolor paper with Ranger Distress inks in Gathered Twigs, Shabby Shutters, Forest Moss. I then used a Pental watercolor brush to give the image a slight watercolored look. I stamped the Christmas ornament with Memento Tuxedo black ink and Copic colored it with (R46) added some shimmer with a Sakura Glitter Pen. I die cut the watercolor panel and a (4.25×5.25) sheet of patterned paper from an old Authentique Retro Christmas 6×6 paper pad with the SSS Stitched Rectangle dies.
To finish my card I blended some Gathered Twig Distress ink around the edges to give it a lonely vintage look (You remember that lonely tree on Charlie Brown Christmas) and to forgo adding a sentiment. I adhered both panels onto a (SU) Wild Wasabi A2 Top Fold card base. Thanks for stopping by………
