My project for this hop is a Christmas card. Usually I am pretty traditional
in my color choices…red and green. But I do so enjoy pink and aqua as
variations that I want to make sure to use this color combo for the holidays a
little more this year.
For this card I used
Pine
Tree Chipboard Embellishments - Pack of 4,
72
Count - Hot Pink Pearls - Self Adhesive,
72
Count - White Pearls - Self Adhesive, and
Nestabling
Heart Circles Hot Pink Rhinestones. If you are shopping with Eclectic
Paperie today, be sure and check out their selection of awesome

In case you were interested, here is how I frosted my tree that glorious
pink!
I started with my chipboard tree and two
Acrylic
Paint Tubes from EcoGreen Crafts. These generous sized, high quality, and
GREEN paints are a dream to work with. I first painted and let dry a layer of
Peony paint.
Next, brushing from the edges in, I frosted this tree with white for a cool
and crisp effect. A layer of liquid glue and chunky glitter completed the
effect on this tree.
Have you already fallen in love with German glass glitter? My sparkly lovin’
soul yearns for this wonderful supply to appear in my craft stash but for now,
I’m faking it until I make it using a bit of alcohol ink and some chunky glass
glitter from Stampin’ Up!
The technique is simple. Make a small pile of glitter and dot alcohol ink
over the top.
Can you say YUM?? Once I had dripped my ink into the pile, I spread it out
on paper and let it dry. The result??
A very vintage inspired aqua glass glitter using supplies I already had!
Same as luscious German glass glitter? no. BUT a pretty great upgrade to the
standard silver I already love!
Building holly leaves with my aqua glitter and
72
Count - Hot Pink Pearls - Self Adhesive was a cinch! To make a sturdy piece
I squirted a generous dollop of
Beacon Adhesives 3-in-1
Advanced Craft Glue on to a non stick craft mat and aligned my be-glittered
leaves and 3 hot pink pearls and left it to dry. In the meantime, I turned my
attention to making a tiny bling and pearl garland to hang on my card.
Using silver jewelry making thread and bling from Want2Scrap I quickly
assembled the cutest little garland!
By sticking two bling together you can entrap the jewelry thread and ta-da!
Garland galore!
Now that my holly assemblage was dry I was able to adhere it to my card and
stash the extra glitter in a small zip closure bag…save that for another
day!
I hope you are having a blast hopping along on the Eclectic Paperie and
Want2Scrap hop. If you are following in order, hop yourself over to your friend
