First Christmas Card for 2012

I saw a video on the Simon Says Stamp blog by Kristina Werner in which she painted with Perfect Pearls and it reminded me of a card I did using a similar technique. Here's the link to that card: Playing with Perfect Pearls.

I decided to paint some white card stock with Perfect Pearls powder mixed with water. Then I stamped and die cut some trees on the pearly card stock. There is quite a nice little shine on those trees IRL.
I think I'll enter this in the current Hero Arts Challenge, it's been a while since I did one.

I used some older patterned paper, Snow Day from Crate Paper, but it made the perfect base for my trees.
There's a variety of stamps on the trees: Music Background by Penny Black, La Letter by Hero Arts and Interlocking Backdrops by Lawn Fawn.

    When I saw Kristina's use of the perfect pearls, I immediately thought of a stamp I wanted to use on a Christmas card and paint in the same manner. I see that others are thinking along those lines, too! Your card is so fabulous and another great way to use her idea!
