I chose this card by Kristin, aka eberlinek, this week's Featured Stamper, as my inspiration. I used the same idea to stamp a circle image for a tree top. I used a very similar color combo. I changed the layout but kept most of the elements like the rounded corners, faux stitching and strip placement. I eliminated one layer, the bow, button and brads and changed the half circle element to an oval for my sentiment. It doesn't show in the photo, but for each tree top, I stamped the image three times, punched out the graduated layers and stacked them for more dimension.

Beautiful card! I'm glad you mentioned that your trees have 3 layers as it doesn't show in the photo. I really love the green/turquoise/kraft color combo.
