Good evening peeps.
It's time for a brand new challenge over at HLS Anything Goes with Dies. As Christmas is fast approaching I thought I would make a Christmas card.
The only thing not die cut on this is the sentiment!
I started by making the trees by stacking various green die cut rectangle frames inside one another on a scrap of paper, then cutting a tree shape with a Sizzix die set. A small scrap of brown was snipped into shape for the trunk.
The sky was cut using a friends snowflake plate die and then inking with Salty Ocean DI. Snow drifts cut with a Lawn Fawn die filled the bottom of the background. On a separate panel slightly smaller than the base, I die cut another rectangle to create a frame for the scene. The trees were then placed into the snowy scene and a sentiment stamped in black completes.
For more die cut inspiration check out the rest of the team here and why not join in.

I used a rectangle instead of the oval
Ready to bundle up in my parka, toque, scarf and boots and head out into this amazing winter wonderland! LOVE the trees, the hills and the lightly falling snow! WOW! Die-cuts delightful!
