Tree Ornament!

Happy Kitchen Sink Monday! For my project today, I have used the multi step Pine Tree Set. I stamped the Trees as follows: Step 1: River Rock, Step 2: Old Olive, Step 3: Always Artichoke; Step 4: Early Espresso. I then cut it out with a spellbinders 2011 Heirloom ornament die.

To create the ornament, I used the Heirloom Ornament die. I cut three pieces of DP with the same sized die. I then scored the ornament down the center and glued the three pieces together with a bit of twine in the middle. To finish off the ornament I added some wooden beads on the bottom!
