Christmas Forest

A very simple but striking card this week...just what you want when you have quite a few to make.  If you haven't got a stamp that has a collection of trees, perhaps you have some individual ones which you can use to make a scene, and perhaps a fine black pen to add some contour lines to the landscape...a few mounds, hills etc.

I simply stamped this in a black ink, along with a simple greeting.  Monochrome always creates something stunning.  I then used a fine nozzle PVA glue, as this is thick enough to hold it's shape and give some dimension, and sprinkled on some Crystal Glamour Dust (ultra fine glue).  I used the nozzle to trace under the contour lines, and randomly scribbled onto each of the trees.

When it had dried, I mounted the image onto some black card, tied some fine ribbon and bow around the corner that had surplus white card showing, fastening the ribbon behind the black mat, then mounted onto a card.  .
