Welcome to Week 2 of the Heart of Christmas blog hop from the Art with Heart Team. Week 2 already - wow, just watch the weeks fly by now!

As soon as I saw the Whimsical Woodland 3D embossing folder in the July-December Mini Catalogue for 2022, I knew I had to get it. It took me right back to the July-December mini catalogue from last year and the Whimsy & Wonder Suite which was my absolute favourite from that catalogue.
The tree designs in this embossing folder echo those whimsical, fun elements and I just had to have it.

I used non-traditional Christmas colours of Polished Pink and Pool Party and lots of shimmer and sparkle that add to the fun, festive vibe. I have sparkly Wink of Stella snowdrops, a shimmery Pool Party and silver twine bow, and a twinkle of white glimmer paper. A Christmas tree isn't fully adorned without baubles, so the glossy dots in Melon Mambo and Pool Party plus festive pearls in silver, were a perfect inclusion on my card.

The white heat embossed greeting and sentiment are from the Leaves of Holly stamp set. 'Christmas Wishes' was fussy-cut and 'From our Home to Yours' was die-cut using a banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies in the Annual Catalogue.
A product list of thumbnail images that are linked to my online store can be found below.

I used a sponge dauber and white pigment ink to highlight the embossed tree images. This also softens the look of the Polished Pink card stock and gives the whole card a white Christmas feel.
