Banner Year Pieced Painted Christmas Tree

Greetings!

What a fun sketch challenge this was!  I took me a couple tries to come up with the right sized tree but I am pleased with the result.    

I used the Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper (DSP) for my tree and the Banner Year stamp set provided the perfect sized Christmas Wishes.

Here's How It's Made:

Emboss Soft Sea Foam panel with Painted Texture 3D embossing folder.  Adhere to Real Red panel. Adhere to card base. Adhere Evening Evergreen strip.

Apply adhesive to back of "tree".  Attach one end of Gold Simply Elegant trim to bottom back of tree and wrap around tree 5 or 6 times until you've reached the top.  Secure end at top back edge.  Tie 6" trim piece into bow.  Adhere to top of tree using mini glue dot.

To make tree mark center of one short edge of DSP and Garden Green cardstock.  Cut from opposite corners to center mark to form trees. Cut the Painted Christmas DSP "tree" at angles to form pieces as shown in picture.  Position onto Garden Green "tree".  Adhere using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Multipurpose liquid glue allows for movement before it dries making it a great choice when positioning multiple pieces. Multipurpose liquid glue dries tacky so use sparingly along edges. 

Adhere tree on left side of center using Stampin' Dimensionals.  

Ink "Christmas Wishes" with Real Red and stamp onto Basic White strip, centering.  Punch both ends with Banners Pick a Punch inverted triangle.  Adhere banner using two layers of Stampin' Dimensionals.

 Adhere Wonderful Gems onto tree and below banner.
