The 4-1-1
- Lots of Layers – 4 layers of card stock always enriches your design. This card has 4 rectangles of card stock, including the card base. Its 5th layer is the punched card stock tree on top!
- Stamping on 3 layers – Each bit of stamping shows another style and use. The obvious stamp is the decorated tree. It’s fun and whimsical, creating a focal point. The evergreen trees on the recessed green layers provide a background with texture – even though it’s a flat layer. The sentiment is absolutely traditional, making this card suitable for a recipient of any age.
- A splash of color on a monochromatic card – Face it, this card is GREEN: Pear Pizzazz and Wild Wasabi. But the colored ornaments on the tree with the shiny Gold Cording Trim adds a whole lot of interest.
- Strategically placed Stampin’ Dimensionals – These help make specific elements on the card POP! The top Whisper White Layer is attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals. They make the background trees really fall into the background. Two Stampin’ Dimensionals under the focal tree makes it move into the foreground. Don’t you find it amazing that these little pieces of foam adhesive can do so much for us?!?!
So, give the Festival of Trees a try today. Combine it with other holiday stamps and elements to create your one-of-a-kind card design!
