Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

I bought this evergreen tree die a few months ago with the intention of using it for Christmas and had to make sure I used it for at least one card!

I used Pure Poppy cardstock for the card base and added a layer of Kraft cardstock that I stamped with music notes.  I edged around the Kraft in white ink.  The sentiment is stamped on Kraft and embossed with gold embossing powder.  I layered it on another piece of red cardstock and placed it on foam tape.

I die-cut the snow drifts and adhered them to the card, adding a glitter edge to both of them.  I die-cut the trees in Ripe Avocado cardstock and placed them behind the snow drift.  I cut a few single trees in Spring Moss cardstock and adhered them to the card with foam tape.  All of the trees were swiped with white ink and are dotted with glitter.

I tied Fun Fur around the top and tied a red bell in the center.  My last step was adding the gold ball under the sentiment.
