This card is for a couple of challenges - the first is Friday's Queen for the Day. This week's Queen has such a unique and artful style and I've fallen in love with so many of her beautiful creations - her name is Gabby (aka Gabalot).
Changes were with the colors, layers, added die cuts, sentiment, button w/ribbon instead of twine.
This card is also for Saturday's Inspiration Challenge - Stef shared a fabulous site with lots of beautiful and very unique home goods. I chose this as color and design inspiration: {Lotta Jansdotter collection in blue} Great site Stef - thanks for sharing it!!
To make this card I first masked the area where my trees were to be stamped, then stamped them in Craft White ink and clear embossed. I then die-cut that same panel, sponged Soft Sky, Baja Breeze and Midnight Muse to bring out the white trees, diecut the Star of Wonder and sentiment tag and glittered everything!! I added the extra gems, made the bow and aded a Tim Holtz Button and assembled. The back panel was scored and adhered at the top with scoretape. This is almost a One layer card .
Gabby - I love your style and your sweet heart!!! Hugs my friend!!
Hugs and Blessing Everyone!
Thanks for taking a look!

Audrey, I didn't see this on the pnz gallery as I'm behind. As I was skimming through, your card popped out at me. What a BEAUTIFUL and BREATHTAKING job on you created here. The trees came out perfectly along with the sponging. Love the fantastic bow, sparkle, sentiment, pearls and your lovely card framing. This is a WOW card my friend!
