October My Monthly Hero Countdown: Idea #4 + Giveaway
It's time for our fourth countdown peek! The October My Monthly Hero kit will be available on Monday, October 7 at 1pm Eastern/10am Pacific. Now let’s join Caly, who is sharing another look at this wonderful kit!
Hello, Friends! I hope you're ready for the holidays because we've got a holiday set coming at you with a retro feel! My countdown card today focuses on one of the two Christmas trees in this month's My Monthly Hero Kit (that's right! I said one of two Christmas trees - it's nice that you have the option!)
I stamped my images with Intensified Black Ink to color with Copic markers. It's a sparse tree like the Charlie Brown tree so I added some bits of colors to each branch and used similar colors throughout.
Copic colors used:
Reds: R05, R27, R29
Greens: YG07, G29
Teals: BG24, BG49
Blues: B16, B29
Purples: V01, V04
Yellows: Y00, Y08
Grays: C1, C4, C7
After coloring, I die-cut the images and added white gel highlights to them before setting them aside to work on the background. On a Dove White Top Folded card base, I ink-blended Squeezed Lemonade at the top and Broken China Distress Oxide Inks from the bottom. Where the two colors meet, a green organically mixes on its own. I sprayed the area with water droplets and also splattered some white and black paint to give the background some interest.
I set the card base aside to dry and used a Rectangle Infinity Die to cut a window from an A2-sized panel, centering it as best I could. I trimmed my panel to mat the card base and stamped a sentiment on the bottom portion. I added foam adhesive to the frame and adhered it over my ink-blended cardbase then decorated it with my colored images. The final thing I did was add Crystal Clear Lacquer over the ornaments.
This is a little teaser for my card that I'm sharing for the blog hop. Be sure to join us on Monday! Thank you all for stopping by!

Lovely card. Your Charlie Brown tree is all spruced up. My grandmother had a silver tinsel tree that I so wish I had.

This tree reminds me of the tree I had for years before I upgraded to a bigger one because the gifts couldn’t fit.

I love your Charlie Brown Christmas tree. I think it would also be cool embossed in silver so that it looks like a retro tinsel tree.

One of my childhood memories is a year I wanted a Christmas tree in my bedroom. My dad took me to the woods and let me pick out a tree. He chopped down the tree I selected, and brought it home for me. I decorated it and some people teased me about my “Charlie Brown tree” but I LOVED it! This reminds me of my little Charlie Brown tree… lovely card!

I’m going to date myself back just a bit—before your time, I’m sure… I can picture stamping this tree in silver ink, adding a few hand drawn limbs, and a color wheel, and it would look like the old silver tinsel trees that change color as the wheel turns!!! Lol!!! One of the many types of trees we had when I was growing up. I’m experiencing so many memories from this kit, and all of you wonderful designers are contributing to that. Great job—I can hardly wait for this kit to release. My heart is fill and happy!!! 😄
