Christmas Card Club- Mixed Media Trees

So, my second time of taking part, and I'm already late! I totally lost track of the days, and between hospital appointments and our weekend WOYWW crop meeting, only realised today I should have a card ready! This fortnights choice of brief was from Mary, Mixed Media trees.
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. 😇
