I'm really showing my age with this post.
When I was younger aluminum trees were all the rage; of course,
my parents weren't the
parents that went with all the trends, though.
We still had the traditional tree and when I would go over to friends houses that contained aluminum trees I was in awe. I loved the brilliance of the lights twinkling on the large metal needles.
I never got to have one myself, so I created some on my card.
They are not quite as bright as the real thing, but I think they look almost as shiny.
I got the tree images from Celebrate with Flourish cartridge.
I trimmed off the bottom of the silver trees to make them flat.
I created this card for two challenge blogs.
this weeks challenge (Christmas beyond red & green)
&
this weeks challenge (Christmas Tree Challenge)
What fun it was creating this card.
Hope you join in the fun!!!
Until later, elves.......Gotta split.......TFL!!!!
