There is a secret about this card. Guess what I used to make the tree? Does anyone have a guess.. ????
I used paint swatches from our local hardware store. Cute idea huh? You know the kind that have like 5 different shades of the same color. Well I just cut them in strips and punched with a scallop edge, then layered them and cut my tree. I saw in a magazine somewhere a birdhouse made out of paint swatches as part of the advertisement. That made the light bulb go on and I just had to experiment. I think it turned out pretty good. I know I didn't cut it very straight but hey what tree is perfect right! Well that's my story and I'm stickin to it. HaHa. I then glued along the scallops and sprinkled Tinsle Glitter on - Does it look like snow?
Then put the topper on. All trees have to have a beautiful topper .. right?
I am a little giddy tonight... maybe time to step away from the egg nog.. ( I crack my self up)
