My original plan here was to do simple gold foiling, but, I didn't have any so
that was out. Then I had this "genius" idea that I would use stick-in papers and emboss
onto it. Yea - It doesn't work. Well it works, but not well.
So I landed on a tried and true technique.
After cutting my tree out onto some of the kraft cardstock I smushed
my versa mark ink pad all over it, cover the die, then coating with embossing
powder and heating until fully melted. I set that aside to cool off

Following the layout from the current Muse over at the Muse Challenge Blog
I added a strip of fun chevron papers andadhered the main panel onto my
card base in a bit of a wonky alignment, but wanted my sentiment tag
straight, since I couldn't eyeball it I used my Kelly
CraftGet-It-Straight laser square to property align it and stuck it in place with a mini staple.
So thanks for stopping by today & I hope you've enjoyed my little card here. I'd love it if you'd join me on social media!! You can find me on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter all time!
I'll be entering this card into the current Muse Challenge as well as the current Simon Says Stamp: Anything Goes challenge.
