Cue panic at this end!
In the end, I used some mixed media, and some trees, and hopefully thats ok.
I started off using one of my offcuts I sorted recently, and taped it down using masking tape to give me a border. The Stencil is a Tim Holtz one, called Latticework.
Using some Cosmic Shimmer Glitter paste, in Warm Gold, I just partially added it to the top right of the cardstock. Removed the stencil and put the card to one side to dry.
Went off for hospital appointment! 😀
By the time we got back it had dried, and I trimmed it square, then matted it onto some dark green cardstock. I cut two of Tims Woodland Trees Thinlits dies from the same cardstock.
Added the panel to a 6" square card base with DST.
Stuck the trees down with a glue stick, and put some weight on top to make sure they stuck. Went off for a coffee.😉
Next it needed a sentiment, so I chose one from a Phill Martin set, Scribbled Christmas Petite Sentiments, and Memento ink in Olive Grove to more or less match the trees and matt layer.
So thats my card for this challenge, I shall try to be more on time with the next one. 😇

Love the simplicity of it.. almost like a mountain blocking out the glittery sky with trees growing on it :)
This is a perfect Mixed Media, and just stunning! Love the shimmering golden corner, and that's a very pretty stencil design too. Love those trees....(I bought that die after seeing a friend use it to cut shimmerz sheet...which are a sort of metallic mylar composition, and wafer dies do not like it). You did a wonderful mixed media Christmas card...very beautiful, and worth the wait too! Hugs & TFS

What a great post. So many fun things going on. I am running late, but wanted to say thanks for the visit last week, I appreciated very much all the kind remarks my WOYWW group left for me. I am on the wrong post but enjoyed both this post and the Woyww, crop photos. Enjoy
