Merry and Bright

I am back with another Christmas in July creation. I wish I could say that I came up with this idea all on my own, but it is actually based on a Macy's Christmas commercial. I'm not sure when the commercial was shown but I remember thinking it was a cool tree. Here it is:

The papers are from recollections. The ribbon is from Michaels. The tree trunk is kraft card stock run through the embosser with a wood grain EF then inked with Early Espresso ink from Stampin' Up. The tree topper is from my stash. The sentiment is a freebie you can find here.

Here is a closer look at the star and the sentiment
The sentiment was printed on cream cardstock and the edges were inked with Pink Passion ink from Stampin' Up. I used hot glue to adhere the star and the ribbon.
