Christmas Craft Creations – June – Christmas Trees
Well, this month we have another challenge over at Christmas Craft Creations challenge blog with an optional twist to include Christmas trees.
I have a stamp in my ‘collection’ that I’ve had for years and can’t remember where it’s from but knew it would be perfect for this challenge. I used my distress markers to colour the tree and then lightly spritzed it and stamped it. I then coloured the rest of the stamp with black ink and stamped that without spritzing. I added a bit of sparkle to the baubles and some yellow to the halo of the star, a popped up sentiment and my card was done.
I love the mixed look of messy tree and sharp background.
Come join in our fun and add to your Christmas card stash. Visit the Challenge blog to check out the inspiration the other CCCettes have made. Link up your card by 3am 7th July (Melbourne time) or 6pm 7th July (UK time).
Hey there! I’m a card-making enthusiast with a passion for creativity that knows no bounds. Currently, I’m fortunate to be a part of four fantastic international card design teams, where I get to explore my craft and connect with fellow artists from all corners of the globe. It’s amazing how the world of card making can bring people together, and I’m constantly inspired by the diversity of styles and ideas that come my way.
Beyond my card-making adventures, I lead a pretty busy life in the learning and development field, where I work full time as a Learning Lead. I thrive on helping others grow and reach their full potential, and it’s a role that keeps me on my toes and constantly learning. When I’m not immersed in the world of work or crafting, you can find me on the netball court, coaching and sharing my love for the game with a bunch of amazing individuals.
So, whether I’m crafting, guiding professional development, or coaching on the court, I’m all about embracing lifes colorful and creative possibilities! Thanks for stopping by my corner of the web, and I hope you enjoy exploring my card creations and more.

This is such a lovely design, Tristan! You’re right, the stamp is perfect for our challenge. I really love the softness of the tree from the spritzing. – Charlotte/Lady Joyful
Completely agree this cool stamp was meant for this challenge. Great job inking with markers and spritzing. I always have trouble with that technique. Beautiful card.
