Merriest Dry Brushed Metallic Tree

I made this card a few weeks ago and didn’t share it on my blog because I thought the Dry Brushed Metallic Paper that I used had retired. Then earlier today, I was looking at the Online Exclusives for something else, and what do you think I found?! You can still buy this gorgeous paper in the Online Exclusives!! Yay! So here is my card with the Merriest Dry Brushed Metallic Tree ~

Just like any shiny paper, it is so much more stunning in person. The camera and lights never do it justice. But I am so happy with the color combination and the holiday shine that the beautiful foiling gives this Christmas card.

All the Details:

Pretty Peacock Cardstock base, 4-1/4″x 11″, folded at 5-1/2″
Pretty Peacock layer, cropped with the largest Scalloped Contours Dies
Merriest Trees Dies
- Tree base from Cork Paper (retired)
- Tree from Dry Brushed Metallic Paper
- Garland from Rose Gold Foil, backed with Adhesive Sheet
- Star from Rose Gold Foil
The tree and the scalloped layer are both attached with Dimensionals.

Inside Scoop:

Stamp the greeting from Merriest Trees in Pretty Peacock.
Stamp 1/2 the tree trunk with Pecan Pie.
Add a Rose Gold Foil star using a Glue Dot to the top of the “tree.”

One of the things I like best about this card is that it will go through the mail with one regular stamp – no bulk or bumps to require extra postage. The other thing I love is the non-traditional color. A blue spruce? Maybe!
