O ' Christmas Tree

Hello all hope you are ok and having a good weekend so far, it has been a dull day here and very humid, it started to rain around 6 o clock, it did cool it down a little.

My card today has been embossed using my new O'Christmas tree embossing folder, I was experimenting using ink, it's not something I have done much as it always looks a mess when I've done it, it usually ends up in the bin, it looks so easy when you see it on TV.

I have embossed Centura Pearl card and inked it, using my glue pen I have glittered the tree and added some crystals, blue core'dinations for matting and layering, I cut out some Die'sire snowflakes and sprayed them with multicolour spray and sparkle and used a sentiment from Christmas Magic Sentimentals stamp set. I have added a few star crystals too.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
