Thanks Christmas Washi

Hello!!  This is my first time on Simon Says Stamp!  I just got a new Gemini Crafter's Companion and I am excited to try my hand at making cute cards.  I must admit I have wanted to join the Challenges for some time, but then I see everyone else's awesome creations and feel well a little inadequate, but I really want to jump in and play, so here goes.

First let's talk about the Dies that I am cutting from my Gemini, I had no idea how delicate and awesome they are, and they cut out so well.  The Thanks on the left is just 1 paper cut, but I followed Jennifer McGuire Ink example of gluing several layers together (which is harder than she makes it look) and the Thanks on the right is 4 layers!  It looks so different from the 1 layer.
The first one is using the diecut Thanks along with some Diecut Fabric Washi trees, that I sell in my Etsy shop.
I sell red fabric washi Christmas trees in my shop as well.
For my second card I wanted to experiment with the Thanks and used the Nuvo Aqua Shimmer and Ranger Glossy Accents, this technique is something I will need to work on, hehe.
This is also using fabric washi from my shop I was inspired by a Christmas pillow I saw on Pinterest.
