When I was little, our church decorated every year for the holidays. There was one area, where they put up a whole row of Blue Spruce trees, and each of them had the large, old-fashioned holiday light bulbs strung through it, with only blue bulbs. I could get lost for hours just staring at the beauty of those blue spruce trees and the peaceful blue lights. And I wanted to capture a little bit of that magic in this card.

 

The focal image was made by placing vellum onto my non-stick craft sheet. Using a blending tool and felt, I applied Eggplant, Stream, Pool, and Citrus alcohol inks from Ranger using the polished stone technique. I think alcohol inks spread really beautifully on vellum, and I love the results. I set the vellum aside to dry, and cleaned my craft sheet with blending solution.

 

When the vellum was dry, I stamped the tree from Hero Arts CL469 Swirl Christmas on top using Tsukineko VersaMark watermark ink. Then I heat embossed it with Zing Blue Glitter embossing powder by American Crafts, using my Heat It craft tool (heat gun). I used 3M Vellum Tape to adhere the embossed vellum to white cardstock. Then I die cut and dry embossed it using Spellbinders Nestabilities Curved Rectangles.

 

I added a star punched from iridescent white origami paper. The card base is Bazzill Frosted Teal textured card stock, wrapped with white ribbon, and mounted to a white card base. It is hard to capture the true effect of the blue glitter and iridescent star in a photo.

 

I love the clean and simple look for this card. To me, it really captures the essence of the peaceful feeling I would get, looking at all those pretty blue spruce trees.

 

Thanks for looking! :-)

My idea was – an iceberg, a part of which floats above water but the biggest one lies below it. BUT! I do not have any iceberg stamp! What a shame!!! Then I remembered amazing To The Moon stamps set from Altenew which I’ve been owning for a while but never use. So I imagined a moon, partially drowned in water… like on

some fantasy illustrations or something…
