It's that time again so here's the brief from DCM....Any theme goes, so for those of you needing a break from Christmas crafting this is the perfect opportunity to have a change. All styles are welcome but there MUST be an element of handcutting somewhere. It could be a greeting, a shape, letters printed on your pc and handcut, anything goes as long as you did it by hand.I saw This idea in Crafts Beautiful magazine and thought it would fit well with this dare. Each layer of the tree is snipped by hand to create the frill. I thought it looked really simple in the magazine but it was a real faffing about so I think this may be my first and last.
The papers are BG Phoebe.

What a wonderful card. Well worth the effort, even if it is not for mass production!
Beautiful despite the faff. I saw this too & just knew I had no patience for it, great to see it done & fab choice of paper.
Fabulous tree, and a cuttlebug too - excellent.
Brilliant card Louly - well worth the faffing! :)

This is a fab card. Love the colours.
This is such a clever idea.
Although I would never have dreamed of putting those colours togethermyself,they work so well!
I keep thinking of Marilyn Monroe standing over the subway air vent with her skirt blowing up! This looks great, Lou - love the colour combination, it works really well on a Christmas card.
i sympathize with the low-faff-tolerance...but with these results...i really have to say: WORTH IT!!!!! plus omg--that BG phoebe is totally, TOTALLY *fab* in an xmas context! who knew?! (well, you did, obviously, clever girl!) :)
Oh my goodness, you put the crafting world to shame! Your work is out of this world!
