5 For 5 Christmas - Day 3

Welcome to Day 3 of our 5 for 5 Christmas Blog Event. Today our theme is "One Layer". We are all sharing a project where we used only one layer!! Each day our 5 Designers will post a Christmas Inspired Project based on a theme. Some of us are offering prizes, so be sure to visit all the links below and leave comments.

Here is my one layer, watercolor tree!! Last year, I fell in love with silver tip trees! I love the way the tree trunk shows through the needles!!  So, I water-colored the tree, used a silver star sticker and Tim Holtz rub-ons.  I used distress ink around the tree to give the watercolor paper a vintage feel.  It is a challenge to not build layers because that is what I love to do when I create.  But I loved the way I had to think ahead to build with one layer only!! Loved this challenge!



Love these trees!!

    Such a lovely, soft look on your beautiful card.
    I haven't ever heard of Silvertips before. They are certainly beautiful trees! Around here, we use whatever Ponderosa Pine we can find that has volunteered out in the pasture for a Christmas tree!!! lol....

    I really like this card Karen, it has a vintage feel to it. These Christmas trees are cute, they look like Christmas trees USED to look like. My husband doesn't care for a sheared tree, he says they don't look like a "real tree", so we get one from our back pasture as well.
