I love Christmas - that's probably why I have so many Christmas stamp sets! I did the card above for this week's Merry Monday Challenge. I experimented with the telescoping technique, though I think it probably works better if the image takes up the entire framelet. But there are 4 layers to the tree. I used the tree from the Frostwood Lodge stamp set. It's stamped in Garden Green. I added Dazzling Diamonds glitter to really make it "Pop". It's hard to get the glitter to photograph well, but I think you get the idea - all the areas that look a little blue are caused by the glitter reflecting. The DSP is also Frostwood Lodge. In order to make the large Cherry Cobbler scalloped oval, I traced around the largest framelet & cut it out by hand. The sentiment is from the You & Yours stamp set & is stamped in Cherry Cobbler then punched using the modern label punch. I added a couple of glimmer brads for good measure. The polka dotted Cherry Cobbler ribbon completes the card. Here's the sketch from Merry Monday:
Oh my! I didn't notice the telescoping till I read your post. And hand cutting the Cherry Cobbler layer? You're crazy! What a great card. :-) Thanks for adding it to the Merry Monday challenge, Marie.
