Pine Tree Trimmings Tree Shaker Dome Card

 Greetings! 

Today's card features the Pine Tree Shaker Domes used with the Pine Tree Trimmings stamp & die bundle.  The background is a print from the Elegant Pine Snowflakes Designer Series Paper (DSP).

Techniques include coloring with sponge daubers, torn paper technique, and die cutting.

==============================================================================

Beverly's Tip of the Day

Keep your ink pads fresh and color true.  When using sponge daubers, always ink stamp with lightest color first, then tap sponge dauber onto darker ink pad, daub onto area of stamp you wish to change color of, repeat with darker colors, if doing more than one.  ALWAYS clean your stamp thoroughly between inking, so darker colors don't transfer onto your lighter colored stamp pads.

Ink ornament stamp with Fresh Freesia, ink sponge dauber with Melon Mambo, daub onto a couple ornaments, ink another sponge dauber with Blackberry Bliss, daub onto a couple ornaments, stamp onto tree.  Clean stamp.  Ink ornaments, daub, stamp, clean stamp, repeat once more.  Ornaments will extend beyond tree near top, but this will be covered by the DSP layer.

Carefully place Gold Shaker Stars onto tree, avoiding edges of tree.

Peel backing off Shaker Dome, line up over tree, press down.  Thoroughly press around all edges of Shaker Dome.

Peel backing off top side of shaker dome, line up tree cutout of DSP layer, press down.  Thoroughly press around all edges of tree.

Apply adhesive to back side of tree/DSP piece, adhere to top of folded card front, leaving 1/8" border around top and sides.  Adhere Basic White cardstock piece with torn edges below tree, layer with 2nd torn edge piece, so bottom cut edge is 1/8" from bottom edge of card front.

Ink "O Christmas Tree" with Blackberry Bliss, stamp onto right half of Fresh Freesia cardstock, adhere near bottom of card front.

Adhere Melon Mambo die cut star at top of tree.
