Waltzingmouse Stamps December Pajama Party

I'm joining in on this month's Waltzingmouse Stamps Pajama Party.  I had high hopes for completing a few projects for the PJ party, but in the end, managed to put together just this one using the Bedtime Story sketch.

I stuck with Claire's suggestion of using the sketch's triangle element as a tree.  Mine is fashioned from layered scallop edged olive cardstock pieces, inked with distress ink to add depth to the color.  I added a tiny trunk made from a scrap of brown cardstock, then topped the tree with a die cut gold star.  I resisted the urge to add some red sequins or dot the tree with glitter glue or a Pico embellisher to make ornaments, but I may end up going back and doing just that . . .

I adhered the tree to a kraft panel stamped with the largest stamp from WMS's Woodgrain set and topped with a patterned fishtail flag strip and a contrasting solid red cardstock strip.  The "Christmas greetings" sentiment from the Teeny Trees set was stamped in brown pigment ink in the bottom right corner of the red panel.  I layered the finished panel on top of an olive card base, matching my festive tree.
