I woke up this morning with an idea to make a Christmas tree with this Tag Time tree. When I checked out Anne's Inspiration Challenge, I was tickled to see so many items with trees in them! Therefore, I made two cards for today's challenge.
I stamped each tree in versamark onto black cardstock and then colored them with Pearl Ex (assortment 3 pack). I then cut each tree and layered them on top of one another to form the overall tree. I glued the tree to white card stock and trimmed that for a white matting.
I made the snowflakes with the 1/4" and double circle punches and glued them on. My background cardstock is Purely Pomegranate, not this bright pink that it appears to be.
It felt good to take some time to play in the challenge today. Now I need to go finish decorating the Christmas tree.
I hope you're having a spectacular day and thank you for stopping to take a look!
