Link to New Holiday Blocks die set- https://shrsl.com/47g0s
To create this card I started by laying out all my dies with the cardstock I wanted to use for them. I then cut all my die pieces out and sorted them. I cut 6 of the pattern pieces that are behind the trees, 5 of the little stars, 3 short tree shapes, 2 tall tree shapes, and the same amount of skinny line trees. In addition to that I cut the same amount of trees from scraps of the watercolor cardstock and layered those to the backs for extra dimension. I then used Tim Holtz Foundry on my stars and I cut a strip of watercolor cardstock at .5"x 5.25" and used the wax on that as well. I inked the edges of my trees using distress inks in Salvaged Patinia, Candied Apple, and Worn Lipstick. I decided I wanted some bling on a couple of the trees so I decided to use Clear rock candy glitter on the tall trees I just used some distress collage medium and spread it onto the trees then sprinkled them with the glitter, and pressed it in, removing any access then set them aside to dry. Next, I used Tim Holtz watercolor cardstock and cut it down to an A2 size. I sprayed a little water onto it and used the Woven embossing folder to emboss it. I let it dry then trimmed that down to 5.25"x 4". I used a piece of matching cardstock and cut a mat to go behind that just slightly bigger then attached them together. I then measured out the center of my cardstock and just below that I put down a piece of Mint tape so I had a nice straight line and I glued on my pattern pieces. Now that the glitter was all dry on my trees I attached the skinny line trees to the centers of all the trees and added the stars on top. Next, I glued my background onto an A2 card base and added the trees again I used mint tape to make sure I kept them perfectly straight. Just below the trees, I added the gold strip. I decided one of the sentiments from Tim Holtz's stamp set Holiday Sketchbook would work perfectly with this card so on a scrap of watercolor cardstock I stamped that using Salvaged Patina archival ink and then embossed it in the same color embossing glaze. I attached the sentiment to a piece of matching cardstock then trimmed around it to get a nice mat, then attached that to the center of the strip using some foam tape. Lastly, I thought some extra bling would be pretty so I used Nuvo drops on the centers of the stars and on the gold strip.
Thanks for spreading positivity!
