when I heard today's challenge to use a Tree I wanted to use this cute picture from Mary's paper...how fun is this ?,,,lol...Lot's of us with cats has ben there I bet.
Nice and simple, just layered it and raised it over the edge a bit, I think there is a tech, name for it but forget what that is, added the twine and cut out a little candy to match it for the center, was going to do a button or 2 but want to keep it flat for mailing for it is also for one of out t-pot tuesdays. t-parties. To have wrapped gifts and twine or ribbon for extra cookies...have a big glass of milk and needs cookies...;0).
will be back later to check out the gallery, must get to work...thanks for the visit..:0)

Tent topper card is the name you're looking for! A beautiful CAS layout to show off the wonderful image. The candy and candy-striped twine along with the foliage make for a great accent on the card. I really like your die, too!

Ohhh...How very pretty...I love your card...great idea to use that paper...it tells the story in itself...
and ya I remember one year, one of our cats made it all the way to the top...knocked the tree over, lost a few ornaments....but with the way the cat got scared...was so funny...we laughed so hard.....
good memories... Thanks for your card DD...Awesome job!!
Love and hugs de mama

Oh wow! This is cute! Yes, I have a cat that loves to climb the tree. She has looked longingly at it from the height of the TV cabinet on more than one occasion but so far she hasn't actually made the leap yet! I love the bright colors. Fun twine with the candy center! Fabulous card!

Love this, Wendy. The twine treatment is so pretty with the greenery and peppermint. Love that paper, too. I just had a big laugh at the cat.

Wanda this is GORGEOUS. Everything about this is wonderful, the twine, the fabulous back panel, super cute image and that great tent topper technique (not only didn't I know the name, I wouldn't know here to start). Straight into My Favs. xx

Love your tent topper card! I like the look of the twine and candy/foliage embellishment too. Really augments the beautiful image panel. Your flying cat put a smile on my face but when our dog got tangled in the lights and pulled our whole tree down one year I certainly wasn't smiling!
