That long vertical layer could become a triangular tree in my estimation so that is what I did. I layered this gorgeous glittered paper at the bottom of my card and colored a small smidgeon at the top of it with a marker to give the illusion of two layers as per the sketch.

ReplyDeleteI immediately saw it was a Christmas tree--I guess I passed the test and qualified as a card maker. This is so CAS and beautiful. Love the calm color scheme. Thanks so much for playing along at CASology this week.
ReplyDeleteElegant CAS perfection, Jen! Love the color choices and teture from the glitter paper. Thanks for playing along with us at CASology this week!
