Geometric Trees Circle with Kristina Werner – CZ Design Clean Line Christmas
Hello all! Kristina Werner here! Today I have a fun card for you made with the Clean Line Christmas stamp set from CZ Design. I thought it would be fun to stamp the trees in the stamp set in a circular pattern! Be sure to watch the video below for tips on getting the trees spaced just right. :)
I stamped the trees in Copic-friendly Intense Black ink from Simon. Then I colored the trees and the background using Copic markers.
The greeting was stamped and white heat embossed over the the pattern. However, the greeting was getting “lost” with the busy tree pattern behind it. To remedy the situation, I used a small blender brush and Black Soot Distress ink to darken up the area around the white greeting. Because the heat embossed greeting has a slick surface, I was able to buff off any ink on top of the greeting, leaving behind a bright white sentiment.
To finish off the card, I drew a white dashed line around the entire area.
Thanks for stopping by today! You can pick up the Clean Line Christmas stamp set HERE.

Love how this turned out!
What a great card! It’s cool to see how some stamps can be used in a different way and have a totally different look.
Wow! Cool design!
I love your christmas cards, and your video’s you do. I look forward to it each year!
What a creative take!! Awesome it is!
Cool card! Thanks for the inspiration!
LOVE THIS! Such a cool idea!
I LOVE this circular arrangement, Kristina! The unique colouring of the trees is also so pretty. Great job!
Super dramatic holiday card! Thanks for the video!
Stunning card, plus loved Black Soot behind the sentiment – a wonderful alternative to our ever-present sentiment strips! You make me want to experiment to see how it works using a color of Distress Oxide against colored cardstock that’s been stamped or even has a die cut adhered to it – like a blue ink on blue cardstock.
Fun and unique design.
Innovative use of the tree designs! Awesome card!
I love this card!! It almost looks 3D!!
Such a fabulous card! Wonderful design!
Very interesting design and I like that dark background. Hugz
Wow! What a cool and unique card! I love the way you blended a little bit of black ink behind the sentiment so that it would be more visible- great idea!

Great outside the box use of stamps. I already follow by email.
I love this. Those trees look dimensional. I don’t know how you keep coming up with these genius techniques, but I appreciate you sharing them with us.
At first glance I thought this was made with DSP. Beautifully done Kristina.
