Time to decorate the tree!

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.

  2. What a charming Christmas Tree created with so many images and yet still having enough freedom to incooporate some artful touches that quickly allow you to take control and move this tree beyond what any other designer would try. This is a self-confidence builder.

  4. At this moment we do not have one in the plans...we have been posting short how-to clips on our Facebook and YouTube pages. These are 1-4 minutes long of a "Judith" technique.
