It all started with the Pretty Pink Posh Fringe Tree dies. I cut the four layers from ombré shades of green: C9 Evergreen, Basil, Parsley, and then Spellbinders Rainforest for the lightest shade at the top.
I was then debating my options for how to feature this big tree on a card. And I thought, why not do a fun diagonal stripe in the background.
And so, out came the Simply Stripes stamp set from The Stamp Market with it’s very long stripe stamps that can be manipulated to create curves on an A2 panel, or simply laid out straight.
I used some grid paper and my Misti corners to help me move the A2 ivory card panel up and down in my Misti to add all those diagonals in these colours:
- Blush Pink
- Bubblegum
- Citrine
- Minty
- Coastal
- Rosy
It gives all the festive retro vibes and reminded me how fun it is to get inky with a whole stack of colours and make a stamped background.

I then grabbed the Fa La La stamp from the Flora & Fauna Holiday Word Party 2 set, and lined it up inside my Misti ready to add the assembled tree, complete with glittery gold star.
Let’s just say I was very relived that that background didn’t get smudged with black ink! Phew!
Until next time, happy crafting!
