Today I'm sharing a card made with Hero Arts Color Layering Christmas Tree.
I loved this tree when I first saw it but no matter how many ink combinations I tried, I just wasn't happy with the result. Then I saw a video by the wonderful Sandy Allnock where she used this tree in the second half of the video. Using her technique I stamped all layers in different distress inks and then used a water brush to blend. Sandy used all 4 layers including the one which is meant for snow on the branches. You can blend a lot or a little depend on the look you want but this gave me a tree so close to what I was after so I am very happy. I even made several more cards varying the glitter ornaments for Liquid Pearls instead. Changing up the ink colours would also give a different look as well.
I am entering this into the Hero Arts Holiday Cardmaking Challenge.
Thanks for visiting!
