A Passion for Papertrey: Sensational Silhouettes!

Hi Ladies and Gents.

If ever there was a day that I needed to come home, relax, and make something pretty, today was the day! What a doozie.

So glad the gals at A Passion For Papertrey had just the tonic; a new challenge! As Aimes so elegantly put it:

"So as another fortnight goes by, we are at the start of the next one and our newest challenge - Sensational Silhouettes. Now don't panic and think "I don't own a PTI set with a silhouette in it"!! Think of flowers, leaves, solid shapes of any kind, dies, etc - all of those could be manipulated in some way to create a silhouette. Let your creative juices run free!!!"

And so my imagination did! Just about every card that comes out of my craft room these days has to be a holiday card, so in keeping with that theme, I though what better silhouette to create than that of a bejeweled Christmas Tree. In my mind, this is a lone tree, standing in a clearing someplace in a forest, but beautifully adorned by Sasquatch or Frankenstein's monster or something. Just sitting there, all by its onesies, waiting for something magical.

What, you think those pearls are too big? Amateur.

Recipe:
Cardstock: PTI Ocean Tides, Enchanted Evening
Stamp: PTI Tree Trimming Trio
Die: PTI Christmas Tree Die
Other: Stickles, adhesive pearls, white gel pen.

Cheeries, Dearies!
