Hello Stampers!!  I made this card for two challenges, both from Splitcoaststampers.  The first is the Free 4 All Challenge: use a Christmas Tree, and the next Featured Stamper Challenge. Here is the card I CASED for the Featured Stamper Challenge:

I chose this card because I really liked the blended colors of the Christmas tree, and all of the sparkle!!  For my tree I started by ink blending a background for my tree.  Then I stamped, heat embossed, and die cut the tree.  I added gems to add some sparkle, and I added a star brad at the top.  For the sentiment I stamped, heat embossed, die cut it, and adhered it to the tree with dimensionals.  Then I die cut the layers.   The first was a hemstitch rectangle die, then Waffle Flowers A2 layering dies.  I adhered the tree to the focal panel, and adhered the remaining layers together.  For the inside I heat embossed the sentiment and die cut some rectangles to mat it.

That's all for now, thanks for stopping by!!
