I started with a green base, then added a slightly smaller red base and topped it off with a white card front.
Next I added scoring lines along the edges and paper pierced holes and sequins in the corners.
When I chose this sweet topiary I knew I wanted to decorate it with some shiny decorations to create a Christmas tree.
First I stamped the topiary, colored it up, cut it out and popped it up with foam tape for a little dimension.
I tied a tiny bow for its tree top and attached red sequins for the ornaments.
Finally I stamped the holiday blessings sentiment along the bottom.
*Green card base cut at 5.5 x 4.25 in.
