Oh Zipper Tree, Oh Zipper Tree

I've had this idea in my head ever since Cath announced her All Zipped Up! Challenge on Moxie Fab World.  Today I finally had time to get the fabric store to get the zipper I needed to put it together.  I was hoping for a green zipper with gold teeth, but had to settle with what they had in stock, which was green-on-green.

The kraft cardstock base was stamped with Hero Arts Stunning Snowflakes using Champagne Versamark Dazzle ink, for the Simon Says Stamp Let it Snow Challenge.  I cut a triangle of cardstock for my Christmas tree base and attached pieces of the zipper moving from bottom to top.  I tied gold elastic cord into double knots and attached the "ornaments" with glue dots.

The tree trunk was stamped with Hero Arts Flower Wood Background and the stars were punched from a gold metallic recycled holiday card from last year (one of my favorite place to get recycled cards is from work because the business cards are often larger & metallic).  The sentiment from Hero Arts Holiday Sayings was stamped in Dark Brown.
