Have a Merry Christmas

Happy Wednesday!!  It's time for another challenge from The House That Stamps Built and this week it is a fan favorite: Anything Goes!! And here is the card I created for your inspiration:

For this cute a easy Christmas card, I used one of the images and one of the sentiments from a multi-piece set.  Just a reminder that you don't have to use a set or even a stamp exactly as it was designed.  I decided to use Nuvo drops for the ornaments on the tree and I LOVE the shine and dimension it added.  I used red, green and soft gold.  I also added some gold wink of stella pen to the star, but you don't really notice the shimmer.  The die cut border piece (which is so elegant!) was a little gift from my fabulous teammate, Esther.  Thanks, Esther!  A bit of satin ribbon and some red pearls and I was all finished.
Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you will hop over to the House blog to see the rest of the DT's creations and then get inky and play along with us.  And if you need any of the stamps I used, check out my 10% off your ENTIRE order coupon code over in my left sidebar.
