I have never used this sweet die before. After die cutting I used a Sakura Clear Star gelly roll pen to give shine to the ornaments. I had to laugh at the date on my pen. I wrote on it with a black sharpie. It is from 2013. Ten years and it still flows out. The tree is stacked on top of a second die cut for a bit of dimension. The little stars are the cut outs from the ornaments. I gave them a touch of pumice stone distress ink with a blending brush so they wouldn't compete with the white in the tree. A curved snow bank to plant the tree into made a nice anchor point and I thought an embossed sentiment with SU Smokey Slate embossing powder was a good finishing touch.
That is such a classic and elegant card! I can’t believe that gelly roll pen is still going strong after ten years they really don't make things like they used to, do they? The way you repurposed the ornament cut-outs as stars is a brilliant little detail, and the Smokey Slate embossing gives it such a sophisticated finish.
