Swirly Tree Christmas

Photo Details

Poster: Loll Thompson

Love this new Swirly Tree die from Memory Box!

Added red and green re-inkers to wet watercolor paper to form the background, cut out a circle from the card front and attached the tree on top.

This is for this week's Paper Players Challenge (#111 - Leaves or trees):

Pretty card - great effect with the watercolour bg. The tree really stands out.

Hi Loll! What a clever way to use the Swirly tree! I have to decide what to do for Christmas cards! You are smart to already be started on yours! This is a simple but very elegant card...

This is really nice, Loll. I really like how your background turned out. Really sets off the white tree die cut. And it is a perfect balance to the red edge and sentiment. Love it!
