My sister gave me a magazine called Make Christmas Cards (Christmas 2011 Special Issue). My green dotted and red panels were cut from one of their designs. I liked the shape and cut my papers that way. No Spellbinders nestabilities this time.The dotted paper also came from that magazine. You know, some magazines include sheets of paper for you to use.
I glittered my star with Stampin'Up! Dazzling Diamonds and put glossy accents on my pot. The image is colored with Copics. I used a couple of punches for the snowflakes and a Cuttlebug embossing folder for the background.
Recipe:
Stamps: Stitchy Bear Digital Stamps-Lite Brite
Paper: PTI white cardstock, Stampin'Up! Real Red, dp from Make Christmas Cards magazine
Accessories: Martha Stewart Polar Stamp & Punch (large snowflake), Martha Stewart Aspen Snowflake (remnants for small snowflakes), Cuttlebug embossing folder-Snowflakes, Stampin'Up! Dazzling Diamonds, Glossy Accents (on pot)

Such an adorable Christmas tree! Love how you glam-ed it up! A very festive Christmas card, Brenda!
We usually put our tree up the weekend after Thanksgiving. Hard to believe we are almost there. I have not even started thinking about Christmas cards yet ... yikes!
Did you go to the Bama vs LSU game? Hope they are recruiting a new kicker.
Brenda, this is just fabulous!! What a fun image, and you have done an excellent job coloring and glitzing it up!! Love the green and red cheerful colors against the white.

So very pretty, and perfect for Christmas. Love the little touches of gloss and glitter, not to mention the punched snowflakes -- they really set the scene. Thanks for sharing, too, how you made the shapes -- I was just about to ask which Nestabilities die that was! :-)
