Regal Tree

“O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, how lovely are your branches.” These were the words humming through my mind as I was designing this card. The Twinkling Lights dies easily lend themselves to very simple but stunning designs.

One of my favorite parts of putting up a Christmas tree is the moment you get the tree up and all of the lights are on — just a twinkling tree full of lights. So for this card, I wanted to create a card where the tree full of lights is the centerpiece of the design. A lovely piece of Ever Eden designer paper featuring leafy garlands serves as the background for this design. To recreate twinkling lights, I used a sheet of gold shimmer vellum behind the tree. The tree skirt, gold rug, and banner mimic the twinkle of the lights in their shimmery, reflective nature and help draw the eye across the design. I am really pleased with how this card turned out — it is truly reminiscent of when I get my tree up and the lights are on.
