Oh Christmas Tree!

I have been going through my craft room purging the old to make room for the new and I stumbled across some items I bought at the Spellbinders Warehouse sell last year.  One of which was a pack of aluminum sheets. So I figured I would do something with them.

 

First I blended alcohol inks on a sheet to color it and then I had to decide WHAT NEXT!  So I thought I would try and run it through my big shot.  I ran it through several times thinking it would cut the die design out because the aluminum sheet was thin.  It did not cut through like it does on paper but realized it was cut enough that I could gently pop it out.  Started with a mat and stamped a swirl tree from a stamp set from Stampin Up and embossed it with clear embossing powder.  Added some bling and then placed the colored aluminum tree on with pop-ups.  Not sure what base I will mount this on or if I will add a title but I just wanted to experiment.  Not sure if this is anything I would want to work with again but I can say I tried!



Let me know if  you have any other ideas of what to do with these aluminum sheets.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Crafting!
