Warmest of Wishes

I played with some fancy folds today!

 

I've experimented with making these origami folded trees and decided to pull out some of last year's (or has it been two years?) beautiful flocked Christmas Cocoa papers to make today's card. I made a row of ruffled paper for the trees to nestle in and added Basic Rhinestones that I colored with a red Sharpie.

Making this little scene was so much fun! Speaking of fun, I'm taking the online Holiday Card Boot Camp Class, and the folded trees are one of the many fun ideas I've learned. The fun and inspiration will continue through next week. It's cool to be in school!

I inked up the Warmest Wishes stamp set for the sentiment, and stamped it in Early Espresso. I love the impact of this bold image. Soft Suede ink was sponged around the edges of the trees.

Aren't the trees fun to make? And yours look elegant on your card....I may have to scraplift your idea!!

These trees are so mod! I can't seem to figure out how to fold them! I even have a circle template with fold lines from Connie Babcock, but can't figure it out. Tips?

I just LOVE how your tree came out and think using double-sided paper is the way to go. Your banner is also a wonderful touch to this elegant card!

I'm loving Boot Camp and have had another great day today!!

Happy Creating,
Lisa

I love the folded trees. Your overall composition is really great-well balanced with color and texture.

I need to spend a little more time on the tree folding...yours look so much better than mine! :)
