Merry Monday #259
I depend on Merry Monday to help me get my Christmas cards done. This week they want to see a Christmas tree on a card. The difficulty is choosing which tree to use.
I decided to go non-traditional and use the bottle trees from EE. I cut a square frame, stamped a sentiment from the set and stenciled snow with glitter paste. While it was drying I stamped the trees, masking off the bottoms to stamp later in black. I added some gray to the bases and when that wasn't enough I added more stenciled snow to the top and glued glitter to and around the trees. The top panel is popped up on fun foam.

Lucky girl!!! I know the two of you are going to have a fun and productive day. If my broom wasn't in the shop, I'd fly over the big lake and join you, lol!! Enjoy your day. Bev
Oh, this is pretty! I love the colors you used and the sparkly snow flurries. It's soft and delicate, just wonderful Bobby! I know you and Michele had a wonderful time together, she's so much fun!!
Lovely Christmas trees, I like the different colours and how they are framed. Thanks for sharing at Merry Monday.
LOVE your colors here, and I LOVE the bottle brush trees. They are so vintage, and very sweet. Your card is fabulous, I love the texture with the glitter paste too. Awesome!
If they could ALL see this in person, they'd know how truly beautiful it is, Bobby! Thanks so much for sharing your fun stash - now to finish all of those projects I came home with! My heart, and tummy was made very happy spending the day with you ... of course Tom was sorry to have missed the pizza! xx

Sweet card, Bobby. Love the ice cream colours of your trees. The glitter paste adds so much texture and sparkle! I bet you had a GREAT time with Michele!! xx
How lucky you and Michele are to spend time crafting, chatting and snacking together! I'm with Bev: one of these days I'll point my 'broom' your way and tag along! Your bottle brush trees are lovely, as is the way you showcased them! I have similar images; you've certainly given me incentive and inspiration to give them a play!
