O Christmas Tree!

"O Christmas Tree,

O Christmas tree,

How lovely are thy branches..."

Can you imagine that Christmas Carol while looking at this card? This card reminds me of it!

I think it really looks like these ornaments are hanging on a tree!

I started creating this card by inking the pine bough stamp with 2 different shades of green ink and stamping it repeatedly on white cardstock. Unfortunately, it is hard to see the 2 colors in these photos. Then I stamped 2 of the spiral ornaments and 1 of the 3 wise men ornament and colored them with pencils. I blended the pencil colors with Gamsol and then cut each ornament out.

I used a decorative corner punch on each of the 4 corners of the stamped white cardstock and matted it with olive green cardstock. I used the Decorative Corner punch on the olive green cardstock too! Next, I added a strip of red ribbon and a red brad in each of the upper right, and lower left corners. I adhered the matted card front to a red cardstock base. The finished card size measures 4.75" x 6."

I used foam tape to adhere each of the ornaments to the card front as shown. Then, as a finishing touch, I covered each ornament with Diamond Glaze to make them look like they were made of glass.
