A Ghost of Christmas Past

Hello, Crafty Makers!

Christmas is not a holiday that I celebrate and, in the past, I would not create projects with Christmas related themes.  This year, I decided that I would send Christmas cards to my friends who do celebrate this holiday.  Sadly, half of the cards had been mailed before I decided to create this blog post!

Cards for the Ghost of Christmas Present
Because of my limited supply of Christmas dies and stamps, I had to keep my designs simple.  I was able to create cards quickly and reduce my stash!
The tree was cut from kraft card (I cut three and glued them together to add dimension).  I applied glue using a glue stick and then sprinkled it with glitter.

Happy Holidays!

Materials Used: 
Watercolor Paper - cut to 5-0" x 3-3/4" (cut as many panels as needed)
Kraft cardstock
Gold cardstock
Silver cardstock
3-Watercolor Brush Pens
3-Small containers
Re-inkers: Any re-inker will do.  I used:  
   (Iced Spruce, Stormy Sky, and Faded Jeans)
Gold Shimmer Ink
Shimmer mist or brush (I used Wink of Stella-Clear)
Dies: Poppy (small Deer), Memory Box (X-mas Tree), Unbranded Dies (sentiments, snowflakes, and large Deer), Tim Holtz Thinlits Seasons Greetings
