HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE! We have a fantastic theme today – Evergreen Trees 😀 perfect timing, right? I’ve pulled together a card using the Painted Trees 3D EF + the Peaceful Evergreen bundle & Peaceful Season bundle to create my card for you today.

I took this photo in hopes you would be able to see the texture provided by the embossing folder and also the Pearlized Enamel Effects that I added in various places on the trees. Can you see the Pearlized Enamel? I’m pretty certain you can see the texture – it shows easily in this photo. Let me tell you how I created this card.

Directions:

• On a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Basic White, I embossed the trees using the Painted Trees 3D EF. I then used a sponge dauber and dabbed Shaded Spruce ink on the tree-raised portions. With another sponge dauber & Pretty Peacock ink, I added some color, but less than with the Shaded Spruce.
• I die cut from Basic White, the tree outline image (Peaceful Evergreens Dies), then with the dauber & Shaded Spruce ink, colored just the edges.
• I die cut the center of the tree (Peaceful Evergreen Dies) from Winter Meadow DSP and attached it with dots of liquid glue, to the tree outline.
• I added these to the embossed panel with dimensionals.
• I die cut the star (Peaceful Evergreens Dies) from Season of Elegance SDSP and attached with a mini dimensional.
• At this point, I added the Pearlized Enamel Effects to various tips of the embossed trees and to the tree on dimensionals – and set this aside to dry while creating the sentiment pieces.
• Using the Peaceful Season Dies… I die cut from Winter Meadow DSP two banners, then die cut two from Basic White. I stamped the Merry in two different inkson the basic white pieces: the upper in Pretty Peacock and the lower in Shaded Spruce, then I cut them apart so just the center remained and attached it to the Winter Meadow DSP piece.
• I added these to the card with mini dimensionals.
• I added Neutral Adhesive-Backed Sequins in gold to the banner.
• I added this to a 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 panel of Shaded Spruce, then to the Thick Basic White card base 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2

On the inside… I stamped the sentiment in Shaded Spruce ink using the Peaceful Season stamp set on a 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White panel. I again used the Pearlized Enamel Effects to highlight along the top of each letter of the sentiment. Then I used Shaded Spruce ink & the Peaceful Evergreens stamp set to stamp the trees along the bottom of the panel. Once the Pearlized Enamel Effgects was dry, I added the panel to the inside of the card.

For the envelope… I used the same Season of Elegance SDSP to adhere to envelope flap, trimming it to fit, then stamped the same trees along the bottom of the envelope in Shaded Spruce ink. My hubby LOVES these trees! I like this… what do you think?
