CCAYR # April Challenge


Wowser April already. How is everyone doing with their Christmas card stash? Today sees the launch of the new Christmas Cards All Year Around challenge and this month the theme is 'Christmas Trees'. I decided to have a go at carving my own modern take on the Christmas tree:

 
I created my own background using Dylusions Ink Spray/stencil and then some inking, layered up the stamps to add some dimension.
 
 
I am going to enter this card into Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas challenge 'Christmas Carol or Song' mine being 'Oh Christmas Tree' and Crimbo Crackers 'No papers' challenge.

  8. Another carved stamp! Love the alternative design for a Christmas tree- it really works though. As always, I admire your colour scheme too.
