Delicious colour INKspiration #173

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

Tonight I'm joining in with the Colour INKspiration crew and our awesome colour combination!!

I've inverted our inspiration pic for my Christmas Tree cards this week!!  

I love the combination of the Shy Shamrock with the Cherry Cobbler - they work so well together. 

Hopefully you can see it in the photo, but I've used shimmery embossing paste on my trees.  I embossed the Very Vanilla cardstock first using the Painted Trees embossing folder, and then I added colour using the Shy Shamrock ink and a blending brush and then the embossing paste over the top very lightly to create lots of lovely sparkle!  

And then the trees feature some Shy Shamrock glimmer paper stars and Cherry Cobbler pearls.  Very simple card really. 

Inside the card is simple stamping.
