Work of Art Christmas Tree

The ever versatile Work of Art stamp set can be used to make this unique Christmas card.

card base of Cherry Cobbler is 4 1/4 X 11 (cut an 8 1/2 X 11 sheet in half vertically)

cut mat of Cherry Cobbler Designer Series Paper (from the Regals pack) 4 X 5 1/4

cut card front of Whisper White cardstock 3 3/4 X 5

Stamp using Old Olive ink with the largest stroke of the Work of Art Stamp Set; Stamp 2 images to form the base of the Christmas tree

Use the square shaped stamp to add the middle row. I stamped in from each edge of the bottom layer, the stamp overlaps.

Use the squiggly shape stroke to make the top of the tree. Again I stamped in from each edge of the last layer, angling the stamp up.

Use the straight line stamp to make the trunk of the tree. I used a post-it note to mask my tree when stamping the trunk.

Stamp Merry Christmas (from Teeny Tiny Wishes) using Cherry Cobbler ink next to trunk of tree.

adhere mat to card base; adhere card front to mat

punch small star from silver foil; attach to top of the tree with dimensional.

I made the ornaments on the tree by using the end of an eraser and a silver ink pad.
