ABOUT MY CARD

I've used 3 different layers from the Mythical Glade tag layering die set to create my base card and that is also where the main die cut sentiment is from. These layers have been coloured using Hybrid Diamond ink pads in Midnight Surf, Blue Siren & Amber Ochre.



I have layered up the decorative tree designs, cutting two layers, leaving one white and the other with my Nuvo Creative pens - see below for full details of colours used. To soften the look, I have added a layer of vellum.


The adorable reindeer images are from Tonic Studios Celebrate Success stamp set, which is part of the Garden Party stamp collection. They in turn, have been coloured with my Nuvo Creative pens. I have placed the cute images in different places on my tag card: waving from the top, peeking out from the side & one amongst the die cut sentiment.
