Vannessa wanted us to use Elvis as our inspiration and I immediately thought of Blue Christmas. The photo does not do this card justice, The shimmer paint shows up quite harsh but the effect in real life is that the tree is glowing.

I started out by stamping my tree and sentiment in white craft ink and embossing with white ep. I then sponged white ink lightly around both of them, creating a sort of halo. I then took my marina mist and sponged it around working from the outside of the card to the white keeping it darker on the outside. Keep doing this with each of the darker blues coming in less each time. Highlight the tree with shimmer paint if you like. I'd probably leave it off next time.
