Now I have to say.... by the time I got to doing this challenge the inspiration was just flying around and I could not resist making this cute little 3D Heart Tree! It is hard to tell that the tree is 3D but if you look close at the 2nd and 3rd pics you can tell!

5. Glue all the small hearts to the tree .  score all the patterned pieces down the centre and glue to the centre of the cardstock hearts to create dimention.
6. Once all the hearts are glued on slide the tree pieces together to create the 3D tree.
7. Cut some stripes of green cardstock and create some fringe along one side… glue around the tree base to create some grass.
