Limited Layers

I love the wax crayon resist technique, so I used it on this card, to make a WOW statement.  All products are Stampin' Up!

I stamped the Lovely As A Tree evergreen on glossy in black stazon and let it dry.  I then took my wax crayon and drew on the tree, and the ground.  You can see where I drew, since it is the white patches on the image.  I then sponged the tree with old olive, the ground with close to cocoa and the sky with soft sky.

I took my swiffer and rubbed over the wax crayon to remove it from the glossy CS.  If you click on the picture, you can see that I added dazzling diamonds to the "snow" to make it sparkle.  I matted in on olive, adding the cocoa round tab punch with my sentiment (Cute Converse) with gold brads.

I stamped my soft sky with all sizes of snowflakes from Snowflake Spot in sky and then tied the cocoa ribbon (retired) around it.  I then matted this onto the cocoa base.  I finally attached the image panel to the card with dimensionals.  I totally {heart} this color combo, and I could see it being used quite a few of my Christmas cards this year.  Have fun and happy stamping !!
