Merry Christmas, Happy New Year

Happy Wednesday!!  It's time for another challenge from The House That Stamps.  This week is a recipe challenge: 1 stamp, 2 patterned papers, 3 embellishments.

And here is the card I created:

The sentiment is one stamp, already curved just like this!  I've had it for a while and haven't used it before, but now that I have, I might use this design a LOT!!  I love the size and how perfectly a die cut or a small image would fit inside the circle.  I die cut it with a Spellbinders circle die and it is a perfect fit!  I used two patterned papers, a red pattern and a green pattern from the same paper pack.  For my three embellishments, I used a die cut snowflake (I die cut it three times and glued them all together for some amazing dimension, then spritzed it with a glitter spray), a bit of red ribbon and some red pearls.  Rather simple, but I think it turned out really pretty!  I heat embossed the sentiment with gold embossing powder.  You can see the shine on the sentiment and the sparkle on the snowflake in the photo below:
