Trees at Christmas card club

Hello there! Are you enjoying your bank holiday weekend? I really hope so! Its rolled around to Christmas card club already and the theme this time is trees... I decided to base my cards on a make I did with Brenda Brown at the last Ministry of Mixology I attended in November. Brenda's card was much more gorgeous - this is just my take on it using materials I had!


Here are the three cards I made - all variations on the same theme...


All cards have the same topper - these were made using a substrate that I covered in crinkled stamped tissue paper. The tree stamp came from a paperartsy set. Ontop of this I added a tando clock that I coloured with green treasure gold. 


To the clock I added a fussycut stamped tree and the ribbon.....


I added this topper to a variety of backgrounds and made three cards!

I do hope you like them!

Hugs

Rachel xx

    Love that textured tissue paper. It looks fabulous with the imaginative use of the design elements of the clock and trees. These cards are just spectacular, and isn't great to use the skills you learn in a class? (I always forget what I learned, cause it takes me so long to finally put the class to good use!) TFS & Hugs

    Love this card design - the clock frame is such a brilliant element to set the trees against. Brilliant and beautiful cards.
