I was looking through my paper stash and found a lovely piece of dark blue vellum with silver stars on it and decided to use it as a background for my Christmas tree.
I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment and die cut a circle in my top panel and attached the vellum to the back of it and then popped it up on foam tape - in real life the delicacy of the vellum is more appealing than in the photo.
I die cut the tree three times and glued them together for dimension. After adding it to the card, I die cut a small silver star to add to the top of the tree.
