Its challenge time again!
For the whole month of August we at STAMPlorations would like you to get out your dies and combine them with your stamps - we do that all the time anyhow, right?
And since Christmas is coming soon......... ;) I pulled out my Christmas supplies for this card.
I just love this STAMPlorations set - I got that a while ago, with Christmas far in the future. Finally time to use it! it is called Oh, Christmas Tree!
I first spritzed the card with Smooches spray and then stamped the trees in various shades of green. I added the sentiment. First I stamped it directly onto the card, but the green shone through and you could not read the sentiment very well. So I stamped it again onto white card stock, cut it out and glues it over the stamped one. Lastly I added the die cut - its from Memory Box. I doubled it up with thin cardboard to make it more stable and mounted it with foam tape. Put some Stickles on 3 of the stars.
Our team has amazing inspiration card for you , so head over to the BLOG and we also have a fabulous guest designer this month - its Karen Dunbrook from Snippets - I am sure you all know her, if not you better go and check her out - you won't regret it, I promise!
This challenge ends August 31; the winner will be announced September 4.

I'm trying to catch up on your lovely cards and this one: oh my, but it's absolutely gorgeous! Love the festive green trees tucked in behind the snowy white die cut (more Memory Box and STAMPlorations to add to my wish list!) The golden light is a lovely special touch!
