To start, I used white cs from Walmart as the base. Using colored cs on top saves money since you only need 1/4 of a sheet per card instead of the usual half. Using the edge of the tree for a border, I stamped the edge of the green with Versamark and attached the panel with ds tape.
After coloring the tree and cutting down the white panel, I attached it to the card with SU dimensionals.
The materials used were: white cs and a 4 x 5 1/4" piece of green SU cs, two stamps (one for inside,) three Gelly Roll pens, black india ink, Versamark, one gem, ds tape, and 5 dimensionals.
With a minimum of supplies, this card was easy to do without looking like a "beginner" card!

This definitely doesn't look like a beginner's card, Doris! What a wonderful stamp and the shimmer from the pens add wonderful decoration!
Your beginner card class is a great idea -- even for us that have a lot of stuff. Sometimes we need to use what we have and not always buy new.
The card is beautiful. Looking forward to seeing what comes next!
Good call on the white cardstock for the insides...it's so much cheaper than using the colored, plus, it's easy to write on. Glitter pens ARE a good supply to have and if you have a big box craft store nearby, you can use a coupon on a package of 10 or 12...it's a cheap way to add impact!
