Christmas Card ~ Pastel Celebrations

I have had this idea rolling around in my head for a few days 

but wasn't quite sure how I wanted to complete it.

My idea was to cut the tree and stars from 

the circles then back them with vellum.

Then I saw how Julee at Poetic Artistry had backed the circles on 

her card with vellum circles that were a little larger than the 

image circles and it all clicked. Thanks Julee for the inspiration.

Next I added a strip of vellum and the sentiment.

To finish off my card I added some shiny sequins.

*Card base 4.25 x 5.5 in.
*Tree and stars {snowflakes} cut using the Winter Fun die Set from Verve Stamps.
*Sentiment from the Ornamental Christmas stamp set from Verve Stamps.
*Sequins from the Pastel Sequin Mix from Verve Stamps.
*Circles cut using the Nesting Circles die set from We R Memory Keepers.
*Vellum from my stash.

*Tuxedo Black stamp pad from Memento.

May your day always be filled with love.
