Simple Ombre Tree

Good morning!  There is a fun new week-long linky party on the BYSHC blog and I'm playing along.  All you need to do is make a holiday or wintry card and enter it into the linky party.  I love making Christmas cards, so I cranked out several cards to share with you throughout this week.

I placed the Line Tree stencil from A Colorful Life Designs (use code HollyFan10 to save) over a white card and used a small brush to ink up the star at the top with yellow ink.  Then I inked up the tree with three green inks for an ombre going from light to dark.  The four small lines at the bottom were inked up with some brown ink.  I pulled out some red rhinestones and placed them all over the tree for the sparkly ornaments.  I thought about a sentiment but I really didn't want to cover up the tree or the red rhinestones, so the sentiment is inside the card.  This is a quick and easy card to mass produce - it took me longer to add all the red rhinestones than it did to stencil the card.
