embossed glittered tree

Linda Morgan came up with another fantastic looking card that is quick and easy to create.  You need a Cuttlebug to make this card.  The base is white 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 card stock.  Cut a mat 5 1/4 x 4 and emboss it in the Cuttlebug using the snowflake embossing folder.  Next, use your Spellbinder die to cut a rectangle and scallop rectangle, also out of white card stock.  The tree is from the Forest of Trees set by Flourishes.  Stamp the rectangle with clear pigment ink or a watermark pad and emboss with PK Glitz Azure opaque embossing glitter.  This stuff is incredible.  Looks like glitter yet embosses like embossing powder.  We carry it in about 20 different colors at Creating Lasting Memories.  Add a few crystal gems.  The “merry & bright” is from a Hero Arts Christmas clear set.  Stamp and emboss using the regular Azure embossing powder. Punch an oval and a scallop oval out of white or use a Spellbinder die.  A blue satin ribbon completes the look.  I’m sure the photo doesn’t show how much this card shimmers. It really is gorgeous.  Thanks Linda for a your beautiful card.
