I went super simple for this mini shaped card and I think the result is really nice. I stamped the tree trunk in versamark and added Ranger Perfect Pearls in copper (I think), then I stamped the tree leaves in versamark and added Perfect Pearls in Lime (or Kiwi? my gorgeous friend Lauri, from Paperville included it in my goodie box she sent me recently). To set the Perfect Pearls, I misted the card front with water and then I just dried it with my heat gun. Finally, I stamped the birthday sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black, my new favorite black ink.
I cut two of the largest Nestabilities Labels 1 to make the card, I simply scored the top of the back piece at a 1/2 inch and added adhesive to that small section and adhered the front and back together. This way, there isn't any of the shape missing and I don't have to bust my Cuttlebug to get it to go through two layers of PTI cardstock!

So cute!
So cute, love how you used a nestie to make the card base! Great job!
Beautiful card. Of course I am a visual person and not a reading person so I am totally lost on how that worked but it looks beautiful ...... I will have to try this ...... it is probably a blonde thing and not a visual thing :)
Ooooh, pretty pretty, love the shimmery tree!
Just lovely! And I love Memento inks too...just got three more in the mail yesterday!
So pretty! Love the technique you did, sounds so easy!
Gorgeous tree... I love the warm coloring! :)
Very pretty card - and thanks for the tip on how you constructed the card - I was wondering about getting two layers of PTI paper through the Cuttlebug.
Lovely! I love Kraft cardstock and the tree is gorgeous !
So lovely, Mary Dawn! I love the way the tree sparkles!
