The current card challenge at Jingle Belles is for peace! Couldn't we all use more peace in our lives?!
Somewhat plain and simple, but elegant just the same. Printed the branches onto watercolor paper, blended Tim Holtz Stormy Sky and Stampin Up Not Quite Navy to make the sky. While the ink was still damp, I sprinkled on some WOW! Ultra Shimmer Embossing Glitter. I saw a tip that suggested if the glitter is somewhat loose to spray it with hairspray to keep it from flaking off. It seemed to help, but was still a little flaky.
This is still a work in progress! I printed several copies of the tree and will continue to tweak it until I absolutely love it! I love it now, but I know that it has much more potential! So for now, I'm submitting it as is!
Lovely card! I love your tree, sky and glitter. I've never used hairspray to "set" glitter. I used to spray it over pastels/chalks to set them years ago on my cards. :)
