The Card:

Here is my ‘magical’ answer to the CCMC727 challenge. Unfortunately, I saw today that the Tree Lot Dies, a Sale-A-Bration item, have been depleted. However, many of you have them, and I am sure you will be happy to share them with your stampin’ friends.

Base – Evening Evergreen Card Stock (CS) – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score and fold at 4 1/4″

Layer 2 – Basic White CS – 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″, die-cut with the third-largest Stitched Rectangle Die.

Adhere Layer 1 to the base. Adhere Layer 2 to the center of the card base, over-lapping Layer 1.
Use Mossy Meadow ink to stamp the solid image of two large and one medium tree from the ‘Trees for Sale’ stamp set.
Use Evening Evergreen ink to stamp the detailed image that coordinates with these trees, then die-cut.
Glue one large tree to the far right side of Layer 2, then dimensional the other two trees, as shown.
Glue Layer 4 to Layer 3.
Use Versamark to stamp sentiment onto Layer 5, dust with white embossing powder, and heat set. Use mini dimensionals on ends to adhere over Layer 3 (the trees).
Use Real Red ink to stamp the sentiments from Christmas To Remember onto Inside Layer 2, then adhere to Inside Layer 1.
