I had the idea for this card in my head but didn't have any current trees to make it come together. The Merry Mischief bundle doesn't have trees because it has a giant mushroom house for the gnomes! I love it so much; however, the mushroom wasn't what I was looking for in the moment. I search my retired inventory and found the largest tree from Merriest Trees fit the idea perfectly. It's whimsical and just the right size. So, I grabbed it, added the gnome, then decorated with the Christmas Epoxy dots and I have to say, I love the way it turned out. In case you hadn't noticed, there's a sneak peek of November Online Exclusives product on my card today. I had to see if the new mulberry paper could be hot foiled, so I decided to give my Starry Night plate a try on the paper. It worked so well! I was actually quite surprised and I thought the fibers in the mulberry paper really add to the look of the night sky I was going for. I created this project during a Thursday night live over on YouTube so you can head on over and watch the video tutorial by clicking this direct link.
