This is my first X'mas card. Wanted to wait until Advent, but on second thought, I decided to begin before I get too busy.
I'm not too pleased with my photography or should I blame the holographic paper ?
So, here's another picture from an angle.
Still not clear ? Sorry, I tried my best.
I'm certainly happy with my little X'mas trees and reindeer's especially Rudolph. He has a shiny nose and if you could clearly see it, you would surely say it glows
First, I drew one tree on a bit of green card stock and cut it out, then used it as a template to draw and cut out the rest. Each tree was made using three cut outs. Next the tip of each branch was adorned with berries (red glitter), then glued to one another at the center fold. The star was cut from gold foil paper, using a holographic star sticker as a template. The last bit of this ribbon was from my stash. As I felt the holographic paper was too glittery I tried to lessen it to some extent with a few silver punched snowflakes and added the punched reindeer's entering the galaxy. Santa is way behind !! The sentiment was handwritten.
