Trimming the Tree Bundle for As You See It Challenge #284

 

It's time for another sketch challenge at As You See It Challenges and this time it is brought to us by the lovely Joanne James! I love this one because there is definitely a recognizable shape, but there is also lots of room for being creative and I'm really looking forward to seeing all the entries!! Here's the banner:

I'll bet you have lots of ideas, don't you? I wanted to highlight the Perfect Partners Promo before it's over. So I used the Trimming the Tree stamp set from the Annual Catalogue and the time limited dies that coordinate with it that are only available until Sept. 30. They are definitely handy and create a look that you couldn't get with the stamps alone.

• On a Merry Merlot card base I added a layer of Copper Foil sheet and a slightly smaller layer of the Lights Aglow 6" x 6" Specialty Designer Series Paper in Evening Evergreen.
• My pendulum layer is Merry Merlot cardstock embossed using the Merry Melodies 3D Embossing Folder.
• I  2-step stamped the Christmas tree from the Trimming the Tree stamp set in Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent on Basic White and also stamped the garlands, bow and the sentiment in Merry Merlot.
• I die cut these with the coordinating Tree Trimming Dies, available only until September 30th. With the same dies, I die cut the other trimmings from Copper Brushed Metallic Cardstock and the tree holder from Gray Granite cardstock. The sentiment I die cut using the Stitched Rectangle dies.
• I assembled everything, popping up the tree and sentiment using dimensionals.
• I added some copper Brushed Metallic Dots at the end.
