Ruby Christmas Tree


This card has been made using an image I have had coloured for many years. Ruby Christmas Tree from Bugaboo Digi Stamps which has been coloured using Promarkers and Flexmarkers.

I used the latest sketch from Sketch Saturday for the layout.


I have a box of scraps of Christmas papers and trims that have been recycled from old cards I have received. This sketch is perfect for using some these.


I used star textured cardstock on the base and added the strips of patterned card. The image was then mounted onto mats of red and green card and then laid onto the strips.

The image and card has been embellished with self adhesive gems and metallic domes. Finally I had added a holly sprig of funky foam shapes and a sentiment that has been tripped down from a tag.

Card Details :-

Size - 6.25" x 4.25"
Tools - Promarkers, Flexmarkers
Embellishments - Self adhesive gems & studs, funky foam shapes

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges (in Alphabetical Order):-

  25. Good on you for doing some up-cycling Mandy, we all should be reusing as much as we can. You've done a wonderful job putting this card together, great take on the sketch. How fabulous would it be to have a dress like that to wear to Christmas parties and functions?! So festive! And everyone would see you coming for miles too! Well done Mandy.
    Cheers,
