Here's a real quick and easy holiday card, featuring the tree from Christmas Cuties.
I stamped the tree on white cardstock and colored it with markers. To warm up the colors a bit, I also applied some antique paper ink to the cardstock. This took the brightness out of the white cardstock. I could have stamped the tree on cream cardstock, but the piece of white was already cut, and handy.
Once the tree was colored and inked, I then gave the entire white layer a nice even coating of spray adhesive, sprinkled on an even layer of crystal glitter, and set it aside to dry. I cut a hole in a piece of kraft cardstock large enough to frame the tree. I adhered the tree to a base card (cut to 3.5 x 4.5), and overlayed the cirle layer, adhering it over top of the tree with foam adhesive.
There are snowflakes stamped very lightly on the base of the card. The sentiment and snowflake stamps are from Christmas Blessings.
Talk about SPARKLE!
Isn't that a sparkly beauty?! You're inspiring me to want to work on Christmas cards!

Clean and simple cards are the best, especially if you have to make LOTS of them. Hugs...
