Christmas Tree from Scraps

Well, I'm at it again with another Xmas card.  This time I was inspired by the triangle challenge at Simon Says Stamp and the scraps challenge at Shelly's Images

 

Except for the white card base, all paper used was scraps.  I affixed a torn blue panel to a white card base and stamped the sentiment in blue.  I created a triangular tree with scraps/offcuts of patterned paper (I don't like to throw out anything!).  The tree trunk is brown cardstock scrap.  I embellished with Stickles (to simulate snow) and a red star.  Here are the supplies used:
  • Stamp:  Sentiment (Paper Pleasures)
  • Ink:  Brilliance Mediterranean Blue
  • Glitter Glue:  Stickles Icycle
  • White Card Base:  Domtar
  • Star:  Dollarama
I would like to enter the following challenges:

I love using scraps. Granny and mommy had to use scraps for rugs, knitting, sewing and it warms my heart to see this beautiful Christmas tree.
One thing for sure you have something for every taste. These are unique and adorable.
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful art with us this week.
