Simple Trees

I have a set of simple Christmas cards to share today, featuring some Paper Artsy stamps...there are three trees in the set, so I used them all. I added some colour to the trees using watercolour pencils, then some shimmer with a Wink of Stella pen. On the two smaller one layer, cards I used sentiments from the same stamp set, and on the larger card, the sentiment stamp is from the 'Scribbly Christmas' set by Tim Holtz for Stampers Anonymous.


Here are some close-ups:

    A trio of whimsy Christmas trees, Helen! It is a cute set and I love all three trees. Brilliant idea to draw your frames in keeping with the sketchy look of the tree images. Thank you for joining us at CAS Christmas Tree challenge. x
