This large tree stamp is called Christmas glow and it is stamped on hot pressed watercolour paper. I coloured it with distress inks while working in a stamp positioning tool. I dabbed different green inks on the tree branches and spritzed lightly before stamping. I wanted to retain the shape of the tree but have the greens blend with each other so I added only enough water to move the ink a little. I stamped the pot in vintage photo then blended with a paint brush then added black soot ink to the inside of the pot.
I dried all the coloured stamping then inked the star and sentiment with versamark and coloured inside the string of lights with a versamarker (embossing pen) then embossed in gold powder. I used a gold gel pen to draw the string between the lights.

The variation in greens is lovely and the gold accents are fabulous.
The most beautiful card. I love your art and wish I had the ability to do what you have with the stamp. Thanks for sharing your wonderful inspiration.
Thank you Gilda, creating this card was really just an experiment with how much water to add so the colours blended. Too much and I got a greeny blue blob, not enough and it looked a little bare.
I love the blue mixed in with tbe green on the pretty tree Heather and the added gold embossed baubles and star look fabulous. A gorgeous card. x
Love the simplicity and colors. Wonderful!
AWESOME Christmas tree! I love the blended colors!
Love this, especially the unexpected blue tones. Perfect! Thank you for the supply list: Distress Pine Needles for that blue.
That is simply GORGEOUS!
This is a simple, classy and splendid card Heather. I love it.
I wish I had your creative vision. This card is beautiful. Thank you for the statements you gave us as to the procedures we could follow to make the card ourselves.
