Did you realize it's only 19 weeks until Christmas? Have you started your holiday card stash?
You know I love making holiday cards all year long, and one of my favorite things to do is use adhesive Swirl Bling to decorate a Christmas Tree.
I start by die-cutting a Christmas Tree. Since the Swirl Bling is on a clear sheet, you can lay it on top of the tree to see how the various swirls are going to fit.
Next I start performing Swirl Bling Surgery by cutting apart the individual swirls to fit my tree.
When I'm done, it looks something like this.
Every one I make is different, so it's fun to see how it will all come together.
I added a clear square jewel to the top of the tree for a *star*.
You can also decorate your tree with pearls … the effect is a bit more muted, but still very elegant. This tree features Gold Pearl Swirl Bling with a Champagne Gem for the star.
Here's another view.
And one last look at the cards side-by-side.
I'm also joining the Time Out Challenge which is Holiday Cards with no stamping.
I hope I've inspired you to try decorating your own holiday trees.
