Joy Tree

Happy 4th of July to all my American friends!  But in reality, you're going to be seeing a whole lot of Christmas here this month, and I'm starting today!  

This is a Spellbinders stencil and die set from last July that I didn't snag until this May, I think, on one of Spellbinders' fantastic sales.  I got a similar one last July and had such fun creating with it that I had to have this one, too.  The stencil set is currently half off on Spellbinders' current sale!



supplies: white and hot pink cardstock, Spellbinders Layered Joy Tree stencils, distress inks in kitsch flamingo, picked raspberry, twisted citron, mowed lawn, evergreen bough, pine needles, vintage photo, salvaged patina, and mustard seed, blending brushes,  Capri Blue gems, adhesive foam squares

After constructing my card with a thin pink mat, I lifted the sentiment and added some teensy blue gems over the small blue dots that were in the design.

This was so much fun to create, and I think this may be a contender for this year's Christmas cards - fairly flat and easy to mail!  

Thanks for stopping by!
