They saw the star

I have had this sentiment prints out for years (literally) and it's been sitting on my desk for quite a while.  In my quest to clean up and organize my craft area, I finally got around to making it into a card.
I die cut the sentiment with an oval die and stamped the star in a medium gray.  I layered it with a red oval and then with a fancy die cut oval.  The papers I have also had printed for years; I picked out these three colors as they seemed the most "Christmasy".  Finished everything off with some red and white twine and a tiny star charm.

Supplies:
Stamps: Word Art By Karen sentiment; Verve "Star of Wonder" star
Dies: Spellbinders "Fancy Floral Oval" and "Filigree Fancy" smaller oval
