Some challenges

Well I decided to join up with some challenge blogs and today I did a challenge for the Lasting Memories and the White + 1 blog.  The Lasting Memories challenge is to scrapbook a Christmas tree or about Mittens, I choose to do one about a Christmas tree.
The White + 1 challenge is use white with green.. the sketch provided is:

I really had a lot of fun creating this layout. I started with paper from Craftsmart's Evergreen Cabin. Because I was creating a page about trees I loved the feeling of birch trees that the paper gave.

I then sliced a few slices into the paper and distressed the edges.  I inked the edges with distress ink. I tore off a piece of the green paper and distressed the edge of that and inked it and adhered it to the background. Then I adhered my photos with foam tape to pop them up. Next I cut my pointsettias with my Silhouette Cameo. I gave them a bit of colour with my Faber Castel Gelatos and drew some veins with a Tim Holtz Distress marker, next I gave them a bit of shimmer with some Pearlescent mixing medium, then added some centers with Stickles. I added a bow with some unknown ribbon. To add a bit of "sawdust" to the birch bark using Flower Soft in ivory. After adding my title with wooden alphas from Forever in time I finished of with some Nuvo pearl drops in white.
