Tis' the season to decorate the tree. I built this tree out of one little stamp, B-75 Design Leaf #1. The tree was built in the same manner that an artificial tree. Start at the bottom and work up. First stamp the Leaf in a horizontal line 4 or 5 high. Then branch out to the sides from the bottom and work up, tilting the Leaf up to make the tree taper to a point. Think triangle. Next take a fine line pen, I like to use a Pilot Precise, to draw the wire on the tree. Then stamp the AA-21 Solid Light on the tree. The nice thing about drawing the wire first is that I don't feel like I have to have every light touching a wire. I have found when I do the lights first and then the wire the tree gets really messy. The star at the top of the tree was created using the AA-21 Solid Light as well. Why buy a separate star when you can make one out of a light? In then added the AAA-04 Dots. When you use the Dots stamp them in blue and use a light touch. When you stamp the Dots down too hard you get blue blobs. Lastly I added the AA-23 Snowflake and D-132-HK Joy. Hint: use a rainbow pad for the lights and you will have all the colors you need in one pad.
