Season's Greetings
Hello there my crafty friends! I started by cutting the Plume Corner out of green card about six times. I cut a piece of white card as the background and then matted it with Antique Gold. I glued all the Plume Corners down so they formed a Christmas Tree. I used the Stained Glass Christmas Tree and cut it in red, blue, gold and silver and used the fall away ornaments randomly attached to this tree. I cut a star in silver and added it to the top of the tree and a small brown base too. I added this piece to a larger piece of white card and then cut the Season's Greetings sentiment in Antique Gold and glued it to the top of the card. I added several of the clear water crystals to the background as accents. The card was completed with white and gold mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 9 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x
