White embossing on vellum is one of my favorite looks. So pretty! Thanks for the inspiration, Lisa!
I really like this elegant swirly tree image. However, I just had to come up with a base for it, which I created by starting with a 1/2 inch square of white card stock, trimming it to a triangle and then cutting off the peak. It's stuck to the back of the vellum with a little dot of glue stick. The vellum piece is 2 1/2 x 4 3/4 inches.
I added the sparkle spots on the tree with the Quickie Glue Pen and Martha Stewart's Blue Topaz glitter. It's a great match for Blue Bayou (and Baja Breeze) cardstock. I also used a blender pen and Blue Bayou ink to highlight the back of the "tree flakes." The focal image panel is on dimensionals.
I'm very happy about finally using this swirly organdy ribbon, which I bought ages ago. A mini glue dot underneath the knot holds the ribbon in place.

Well, Linda, I've completely enjoyed my tour through your more recent gallery additions. There's something so special about everything you do--those little extra touches and attention to detail. You seem to always have something in mind when you thoughtfully purchase your stamps, even if you don't get around to it right away. It's well worth the wait. This was a wonderful way to spend part of my evening. Thank you!!

This is so pretty! I love how you've added the pretty tree topper, the base, and how you added color behind the white embossed tree image. The swirly organdy ribbon adds the perfect final touch!
