Christmas Lights and Trees


Hello!  My card today was inspired by the challenge from Tuesday Morning Sketches shown below.  I immediately thought of a stamp of  String of Christmas Lights by Alys Paterson from a Quick Card freebie set.  I stamped the lights twice on the corner of the panel of Red Striped pattern using DOI  Lucky Clover and heat embossed with Clear EP.  Colored the lights with red and green Nuvo Drops and Gold Liquid Pearls.  The tree stamps used on the white panel were from the same set....stamped and water colored in the same ink and did accents with Gold and Red Metallic markers.  Finished with sentiment from stash, red glittery twine,  and card base of striped paper. Patterns from DCWV Christmas Basics Pad.

  3. The red glittery twine is really pretty and I love how you tied it. Using the Christmas lights for the banner detail was a fun idea. So glad you joined us at Tuesday Morning Sketches.
