For my make, I have used IndigoBlu 'Baroque Christmas Tree' with Flitter glue and some gilding flakes, it's rather a large stamp, so decided to go with an easel card. The border on the base is the 'Tree ' stamped upside down. The sentiment is Hero Arts and again used the flakes.
Just a quick one as I'm off to a Craft Fair this morning, not that I need anything, but it's just nice to go!

Hi Avril...how clever to use the bottom of the tree stamp as a border!!! I love all the different tones of colour in the tree - so very interesting to look at. Beautiful Avril.

Beautiful, Avril! Great easel card and the gliding adds such a rich and elegant feel. Love this!
Wonderful and very elegant.
A fabulous card Avril - love the gold gilding technique - so effective on the dark background. The way you have also used the tree for the border is simply brilliant!
