CHRISTMAS TREES PART TWO..

 Hello everyone,

What a beautiful day here in sunny Napier, [NZ], no wind, warm, but it says (9oC ]...refresh, oh, 17oC.lovely.. I'm going outside shortly to have a bit of a pot tidy day..pot plant that is..

So back with card number two..with water coloured [painted] trees and a giant moon..


What joy these are to paint..


Messy painting mind, no skill here...


I always add blue..


Then a last swipe of water which blends the blue and just leaves a shadow..


this particular die from???? has its own little snow frills for the trees ,
 so cut them out and added them..


also using one of these 12x12 snow white paint splattering..
I cut them all down to size, all ready to go.


Panel glued down and frone panel chopped on an angle, you can see on the left..


My moon and Santa with reindeer already too...


Then I did a halo, what a mess, but have learned how to do it much better than this,
 but still went for it..


Popped Santa on..


Time for trees, and there are lots of them to play with..


Made some shadows in the snow..


and added these trees with the snow and some glitter too..


I like these trees...


The card open and the cute bunnies watching Santa from the edge of the forest, because they do you know, they watch everything,


Card standing up with front open..


open and still standing..


Looking down...


and added a red Merry Christmas die cut for some brightness,
and here she is with her envelope, all done..

Thank you so much for stopping by, I'll see you tomorrow..

Luv CHRISSYxx

The card is as pretty on the front as when opened. Cute little bunnies inside. The halo gives a great moonshine effect.
