Stampendous and Add A Little Dazzle Blog Hop Day 1


Hello Everyone and Welcome to the Stampendous and Add A Little Dazzle Blog Hop!  
We are so excited to share our creations with you, using both Stampendous Stamps and Add A Little Dazzle Craft Metal.

 
I strayed a bit from my norm and went shabby chic with this card.  The Stampendous image used is from the Jumbo Pinecone Boughs Set.


I used the smaller of the 2 boughs and stamped it repeatedly in the form of a pine tree, starting from the bottom and working my way up, to make a Christmas Tree.  I added lots of shabby chic goodness with the Stampendous Frantage Encrusted Jewel Kit in white. 
The background was sponged in pink; texture was added using drywall tape and kraft ink.  The edges of the panels were distressed and inked as well.  The sentiment is heat embossed in gold on a vellum banner.  The finishing touch was added with the placement of a gold star at the top of the tree, die cut from some Add A Little Dazzle Gold Glimmer Craft Metal. 
I love the shimmer of the craft metal, gold embossing, and Encrusted Jewels paired with the shabby chic colors and distressing.

    Beautiful. The tree looks loaded down with snow and the gold star on top really sets it off.
    The gold sentiment is a wonderful touch.

    I always love how to expand the use of my stamp sets and this is no exception. If you hadn't told us, I never would have guess this tree was made from a pine bough
