Instructions:

  1. Cover the card front with red glimmer paper and ink the edges.
  2. Cut a 4 ¼” x 5 ¾” piece of glossy paper. Squeeze 5 drops of alcohol ink onto the applicator pad. Tap randomly on the glossy paper until it’s all colored. Squeeze a few drops of Blending Solution onto the applicator pad and repeat until blended. Allow to dry.
  3. Cut glossy paper to 4 1/8”x5 1/2” and ink the edges. Stamp swirly tree in the center. Cut a 2 ¾”-wide piece of vellum and ink the long edges. When the ink is dry, place over the stamped tree. Fold the short ends of the vellum to the back of the glossy cardstock and tape to secure. Insert red brads randomly through the vellum and cardstock to secure it. Add a gold nailhead at the top of the tree and self-adhesive pearls randomly. Glue onto the card front.
  4. Punch two holes in the fold of the card (you will see half-circles on the fold); open the card and thread green mesh ribbon. Tie in a knot on the card fold.
  5. For the card inside: Cut a 2/8”-wide strip of red glimmer and glue it vertically inside the card. Stamp “deck the halls” and the smaller tree on tan cardstock, ink the edges and mat on lime cardstock. Glue inside the card. Add three self-adhesive pearls under the sentiment.
