Pictures Framed	What a Week

Don't be Wishy Washi	Remember the Moments

Let's get started. Here's my project for the day: Using the Don't be Wishy Washi set, I created a Christmas tree- by stamping directly on my patterned Christmas paper, by Authentic. This is their Festive Collection and I just love it! For my sentiment I used the one from the Ornamental Holiday set.
To top my tree, I used the 'Love' phrase, from the Remember the Moments set,
I positioned the stamp just below a circle of flowers - just so it could be my Tree topper!

A paper doily and Baker's Twine in Red, help to finish it up!

To stamp and create my tree, I laid each of the 'Washi' tape designs just as I wanted them to appear on my card directly to my clear block. I than inked each layer with the color of my choice. Fnally I stamped it on the area of my printed paper I wanted - I trimmed the RH side edge so I could have a balanced look to my tree. It wasn't perfectly graduating in size, so I did this and trimmed the RH side which was a great look for my card!
