SCCAIR15 & Z-Fold Closed View

So this idea sounded good in my head but turned out to be insane. I think I spent about 10 + hours making this card. I started by drawing a triangle on each section to create a base shape for the tree. I die cut the pine needles, colored them with Distress Ink in Mowed Lawn and Pine Needles, and attached each one individually. The bottom 2 rows of each section were attached with glossy accents and the rest were attached with rolled pieces of scor-tape. The ornaments are My Favorite Thing stamps. I stamped them, colored with metallic water colors, added glossy accents, cut each out and attached with rolled pieces of scor-tape. I also added sequins with a dot of Stickles in the middle and gems.
The trunk is a piece of brown floral tape attached at the top (before I added the pine needles). Then I added the ribbon tree skirt tucked behind the trunk and then folded over the top. The presents are My Favorite Things stamps and Hero Arts, stamped, embossed, fussy cut.

Sarah, this is fabulous. Please tell me you're keeping this forever. What a wonderful Christmas decoration it will make. I can just imagine the work that went into this. I remember making a small wreath with die-cut pine needles, and it took forever. lol. Now it doesn't seem like such a big deal.

I love everything. Your tree, the ornaments, the tree skirt. Wonderful card! Thank you for playing.
