I'm using Taylor's Sketch #130 again--I really love that sketch and I see me using it again and again. The patterned paper I'm using is from the Tinsel and Twig collection by The Girl's Paperie and I love it, too! So, I stamped the image using SU! Old Olive ink and the trunk with Memento Rhubarb Stalk. then I cut it out and ink distressed the edges of it, the sentiment circle, and all of the other layers, as well, and popped the tree up on Pop Dots. Did some machine stitching and added some red jewels to the tree. I happened to have some star-shaped rhinestones in my stash so I colored one with a Copic marker and put it on top. The sentiment was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black, accented with more jewels, and popped up. Last, I tied a luscious green silk ribbon around in a bow.
