cut several pieces to paper piece the tree,
embossed the Kraft trunk of tree with Woodgrain embossing folder,
embossed the green part of tree with a fav of mine embossing folder, D'Vine Swirl,
used Tim Holtz Distress Ink on the embossing,
used wink of Stella clear on apple,
added ribbon,
added a charm, City of Plano (this is where I live in Central TX) Hot Air Balloons,
stamped sentiment for Patriotic TY and
added scrapbook paper, red/white/blue fireworks .
