Christmas easel

Photo Details

Poster: beetle76

I love easel cards and had them on my list to do one month for christmas cards. This is the first twisted one I have done, its quite simple but the tree needs little else and I am happy with the result.

I love Baja Breeze and so often I end up teeming it with Not Quite navy and the white stands out beautifully. Its hard to tell but the swirly tree is white glitter embossed, so it is sparkly and very pretty. Also the edge of the tree section is also scuffed for extra texture.
