I was inspired by an adorable card by Julie(HRR) and a cool trimming idea by Lisa Young.

I actually pinned Lisa’s tree when she posted it in October – I wanted to do a tree with sections trimmed with lace or something. But it wasn’t until I saw Julie’s card layout that I figured out how to make my tree into a card.

I originally didn’t want to overwhelm the card with patterned paper as the sky, but now I wish I had at least embossed the background or found a subtle pattern.

Thanks for taking a peek!
