Directions

Glue the black panel to the card front.
Look at the sample card to see approximately where to glue the pieces. The 1-1/4" x 4-1/4" piece goes first. The 3/4" x 4" piece goes second and the square goes third.
Die cut the trees from a black scrap. Dry fit them on the circle. Do not glue the trees until after you have stamped your sentiment. The sentiment used is from the Encircled in Nature Stamp Set. Only half of the sentiment was used. There are several ways this can be done.

Color only the wanted words with a Stampin' Write Marker before stamping.
Put a piece of scotch tape over the unwanted words before inking the stamp. Be sure to tape the tape off before stamping.
Carefully ink only the wanted words by hanging the unwanted words off the edge of the stamp pad.

Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the circle.
Brush the circle with Wink of Stella.
Add three Rhinestone Basic Jewels.
Glue the small strip of DSP to the small strip of Basic Black. Add it to the bottom of the inside of the card to give it a little pop of color.
