O Christmas Tree

Photo Details

Poster: bubblestx4

I was looking through the Real Fabric Inspiration site and ran across this swatch which made me think of the stacks of double-sided DSP I inherited. I find most of it too dark & kind of depressing BUT it would work for this month's Fan club Christmas challenge . . . . found here February 2024 - A Year of Patterned Paper by ohmypaper! at Splitcoaststampers

I cut a half circle using a saucer as my guide then followed the tutorial here on SCS for Folded Christmas tree. Die cut a gold star for the top and added a stem from a paint chip. I thought it needed a bit more 'glitz' so added a strand of ruby & gold garland. Mounted over my mini music bg which had been wavy edged and sponged with frayed Burlap.

Love what you did with both challenges and your card is far more interesting than the fabric!

Look at you, another Christmas card done. The paper looks great for the folded tree. Like the sheet music as the background with the sponged edges. TFS

Your tree fold turned out beautiful especially with the puffy gold and ruby dots. Fabulous on a sheet music background.

Your festive folded Christmas tree looks fabulous against your distressed music dp, Linda. I love the garland and the beautiful gold star.
