Autumn Days, Tree Trimmings

This is another variation on a theme – instead of circles, a rectangle mat, using a quadrant of the 1/2″ circle punch, nipped out the corners all round, stamped fir cones all round, matted on to Always Artichoke, stamped images several times, folded in half, adhered together for 3D look, attached gold cord to top […]
