Artist's Comments:

I took a large Deluxe Cuts die cut of a Christmas tree and chalked around the edges with green chalk onto the black background paper. I used small cotton balls attached to a sponge clip to apply the chalk. I chalked again with white chalk to simulate snow. I did this four times and then used the Deluxe Cut tree itself in the center of two of the chalked trees. Behind the picture I only chalked the very tops of the tree. I used mini glue dots to embellish the center of the Deluxe Cut snowflakes with red jewels. I used a craft knife to cut the title using the Scriptina font.

Supplies:

Cardstock: Club Scrap
Die Cuts: tree and snowflakes by Deluxe Cuts
Jewels: unknown
Chalk: Craft-T
Chalk Appliator: Sponge Clip by Loew Cornell
