12 Tags of 2015 / Holiday Card Series - October Inspiration

Hi friends! My collection of Holiday cards is growing and it's very fun that they're all so different. Our next card is from the October 12 Tags of 2015. I have been a fan of the wrinkle free distress techniques since Tim showed it many years ago. It's still a big favorite of mine. I use it over and over again and the results are always amazing!

I know this isn't a zombie but these wings and tree are very dimensional just like the zombie. I just didn't think a santa hat would make the zombie look Christmassy enough. lol

I did a little over stamping on the trees with Leaf Green Archival Ink. For the graduating tree die cut about 1/3 off and 2/3 off the tress using the bottom edge of the Evergreen die. Just positioning the tree at the bottom edge and send through your machine again.
