An easy Christmas card using non-traditional colors of Wisteria Wonder and Elegant Eggplant. Learn a simple technique of masking and sponging to create a soft wintery scene for the holidays. More ideas at www.keenankreations.com :-)
+Mary Anne St.Clair Thank you Mary Anne! I'm Brenda - maybe your phone autocorrected "Keenan" to Karen? Glad you stopped by - hope you find a few more projects you like too :-)
I was browsing Brenda and saw this video. What a nice card. I am going to try this one with more traditional colors and a Christian sentiment. Thank you so much for the hints!
Keep trying! Just be sure to have a "soft circular" motion with the sponging. Most of the time, if you keep adding more layers of color with the sponging, it ends up looking better :-)
2019 - Six years since this was uploaded and it's still the nicest card I've found in a week of watching Holiday Card Videos! Thanks for sharing -`ღ´- ☺
You made it look so easy, I luv the way you faded out the x-mas trees to get dimension. Is that stamping up set still available for purchase? I am currently making my cards for the holidays. Thanks for showing. Hugs.
"missrafaelas" I could not reply directly to your comment but, yes, the Lovely as a Tree set is still available from Stampin' Up! Do you have the current catalogs?
This is nice. I just picked up a Lovely as a Tree set off of Ebay and I'm looking forward to using it. Who knew that you could do so much with tree stamps?
Lovely card, This stamp is one of my favorite. What other color could I use if I don't have Wisteria Wonder? Could I use Lovely lilac or another lilac color? TYFS.
I have the online catalogue only and it works fine, but a proper one would be even better ;) But I live in Sweden, so I guess I have to get it from the UK instead because of postage och custom.
+deskjockie49 You may need a heavier application of glue. Push the tip in (on scratch paper) to make sure the tip is nice and wet. Also, the glue may dry quicker since it's thinner so add the glue quickly, tap off excess, let dry completely and then brush off excess. Hope that helps!
I loved this tutorial, and I want to get the Lovely as A Tree stamp or set if possible. I have a few things from Stampin'Up that I want to start buying, can you help me with this? Thank you for sharing with us.

Keenan Kreations I don't know what colors I will use. But I'm going to work on it. Now that school has started for the fall, I can only work on the weekends.
