Late Last Night in the Middle of the Night

Hello Nomad friends.  I was meandering around fb last night when I came across a post in one of the crafty groups and Mai-Britt asked someone to give her a challenge to make a different sort of Christmas card.  So I chipped in with tree shaped easel card in blue and pink.  And she liked the idea so we played, setting a three hour limit.  Well, that was good cos it's been a while since I made an easel card and quite honestly, I couldn't remember how.  And then there was the whole tree shaped thing.  I had suggested the challenge so I decided to be purist.  The tree wasn't a problem.  My friend Jo had sent me a beautiful Funky Fossil Folk Art Tree die as a christmas gift and it's been looking at me.  And I decided to do some more paper piecing with the holographic mirror card.


So here's my card. and it is much more bling in the real!!  I spotted a perfect piece of christmas paper which was part of my November prize from Papercraft Challenges, pink to blue ombre with snowflakes and cut the tree.   I backed it with a piece of glitter paper and cut round the tree.   Then I spent way more time that it should take paper piecing in the pretty cuts with blue and two shades of pink holographic mirror card.

Then I made a tree shaped easel base to match.  It's a fun shape and I added a God Jul ( Merry Christmas) sentiment as my stop.

Thanks for dropping by and thanks to Jo for the beautiful tree die.  Hugz
