"Our Santa Visit Gone Bad" by Allison Davis
Supplies - Cardstock: Bazzill; Patterned paper: Basic Grey; Alphabet stickers: Doodlebug and SEI; Stickers: 7Gyspsies; Ribbon: Offray and May Arts
This is actually the original tree that inspired the design of Add-on Sketch #12. I used both patterned paper and ribbon to construct mine and then added a hand stitched garland on it.
Hand Stitched Garland Tip:
Usually I would just draw the design that I want to stitch but since I had used ribbon on my tree I couldn't really do that for the garland. Instead, I made a duplicate of the tree base, a piece of cardstock cut to the exact same size of the tree. Then I drew my garland design on that. When I was happy with the look I laid the cardstock tree on top of the ribbon tree and pierced the holes along the pencil lines. It slips and slides of track often so you have to readjust a lot or you can use a removable adhesive and adhere it to the front and then remove it when you are done.
