In an attempt at using some of my stash up and inspired by one of my copper baubles I made this simple Christmas tree card.  I don’t use my copper Stazon ink very often and I want to use it more before it dries up in the bottle (it is the type that you need to re-ink the pad each time to get it out to use) and I have had the copper stars ribbon in my stash for years now and my copper stickles have gone a bit dry and gloopy.  They all need to be used up.  The photos don’t really show how glittery it actually is.
I smooshed  some Distress inks onto a craft sheet then sprayed with water then I placed a piece of white card onto it.  Once it was dry I stamped the image using the copper Stazon.  I tried to remove some of the colour from the tree and gift using some bleach but it didn’t work as well as I expected to and when that was all dry I scribbled a glitter gel pen over the tree and gift and blended  it using a water brush to cover the image.  I edged the layers using the Stazon as well.  The ribbon has very glittery stars and lines on it and then lastly I added blobs of copper stickles (mine has gone rather thick now therefore it came out of the nozzles rather stringy and wouldn’t stick to the card very well) – so I have learnt my lesson – use my stash up before I can’t use it all all.
