Day 17- A Christmas Themed Card for Teachers

Hi!  Popping in with another holiday card today, this time for a special teacher in your life.  I was excited to have this one featured in Paper Crafts Holiday Cards & More special issue earlier this year.

Every once in awhile a big wave of inspiration hits which was the case with this Christmas tree made up of school & fall themed papers. I created this one for a call to create Christmas cards with non-holiday products so I tried my best to find papers that accentuated the red and green colors, mixing papers from 4 different manufacturers.  I wasn't able to find a just the right pencil embellishment in my stash so I created my own with a Silhouette cutting file (linked below).  I can imagine you could create so many fun variations on this with whatever school themed products you might have on hand.  :)
