I haven't done the encrusted jewels technique for ages so thought this was a good way to use a variety of my glitters.
Here's the technique: I die cut the tree from thin chipboard, then placed it in the Tim Holtz Melting Pot on top of a layer of non-stick craft mat then parchment paper. I sprinkled it with two different shades of green embossing powder. Once it had melted, I added white and multi-coloured chunky glitter on top. The melted embossing powder holds the glitter in place. To finish it off, I melted UTEE (Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel) on top.
I then die cut the tree from fun foam and attached it immediately to the encrusted jewel tree to give it a bit more body so that it wouldn't bend and crack.
I made a background by smooshing with light blue Distress oxide inks. I trimmed a panel for the tree to go on top of, and then a smaller piece with a torn edge for a snow bank to go on top of the tree trunk.
And finished off with a bit more glitter - a star cut from gold glitter cs.
I couldn't decide where to add a sentiment so will just put it inside.
