Welcome to the Festive Friday Blog Hop hosted by Terri Sproul! You should have arrived here from:  Angela’s blog

For this simple card, I began with a piece of glossy white cardstock as the base.  I stamped and embossed the tree image on a piece of red acid free construction paper.  I embellished it with silver sequins and sewed on a silver star charm.  The sentiment was also stamped and embossed on a piece of green cardstock and attached to the card with pop dots.

Remember this?  It’s been bugging me because it’s just not right so I’ve been playing around with it.  I went back to the original article from a vintage magazine that had the patterns in it and I realized that they left out a step in creating this.  No wonder it doesn’t look quite right!

I figured out that you’re supposed to cut a space out of the beard section for the face to peek through.  This one, of course, hasn’t been embellished or anything yet but wow, what a difference that makes!

Thanks for stopping by!
