Anyhoooo, I want to share a card I made using the glowing lights tutorial from Splitcoaststampers. I'll be entering this for CAS-ual Fridays #122 - Out on a limb. (use a tree or trees)
Here is the finished inside:
What a fun idea! I had a blast trying this out! I used my handy dandy Slice machine and cut three trees from green card stock, then went to work on them according to the tutorial. One thing I did differently was to use Clear Snap ink. I dotted the trees using a white Gelly Roll pen, and let dry. I applied the colors with q-tips, and let that dry. The other thing I did differently was that I used a gold Gelly Roll pen to add the garland. The two smaller trees are adhered directly to the music sheet panel and the larger tree is popped up between them with foam squares.
Seriously, this was so much fun to try. I hope you give it a go also! Thanks for stopping by and stay crafty!
Chris
