Here's a simple and fun way to make a Christmas tree card to add a personal touch to holiday gift giving. Here I used plain white card stock. Watercolor paper or mixed paper would also work. Pick 2-3 colors and apply paint in stripes using a dry brush technique. (use small amounts of paint with no water). Vary the line and pressure to create a textured look. Here are a few different papers that I made. I used gold, green and blue acrylic paints. Cut out triangles using ragged edged scissors. Cut along the bottom of the triangle to make a little stump. I decided to keep the stump the same colors as the tree. Feel free to paint it a solid color. I then added gold dots and swirls using 3D fabric paint. Attach the tree to a card using glue or sticky dots. I like to use zots. Poke a hole in the top of the tree using a push pin. Place a star brad through the hole and attach. Taadaa! Simple and fun Christmas tree cards and tags!
