a mixed media Christmas

hello!!
it's wednesday - halfway through another work week for me! :)

today i have a cute cute cute card up on the Newton's Nook Designs blog! i used the newly release Fox Hollow stamp and die set! but, as much i want to use those cute little foxes on EVERYTHING, i decided to make a card with the tree image!


first i die cut the tree out twice from a post it note, then i attached them to my card! i very carefully watercolored with Distress Inks around the post it note trees! once it was dry, i peeled up the masks! then i stamped and heat embossed in white the tree image itself! LOVE how subtle that is!


i stamped the sentiment and snowflakes in white for some contrast ( LOVE!) and then added some black and white polka dot washi tape to the side! i couldn't resist adding some white polka dots to the card with my embossing paste and stencil! 

i really LOOOOOVE how this came out!
i hope it made you smile and maybe look at those smaller scene building elements in a stamp set with a new perspective! 
enjoy!
