I don't think I've used this Christmas tree stamp before, but I could be wrong. My memory ain't so good anymore. lol
I inked the stamp with Brilliance Pearlescent Thyme and Chocolate inks before stamping onto the Vanilla Cardstock. Ooooo, the shimmer of this ink is soooooo nice. I then cut/embossed the edge with Spellbinders Snowflakes Borderabilities petite. The vanilla card is matted onto Ruby Red cardstock and I also put a piece of that color behind the cut/embossed area so it would show up better. The sentiment was stamped and mounted onto ruby red cardstock before being mounted over the tree, curling it slightly and popping up the center with a foam square and gluing the ends directly to the card.
It is a simple card, don't you think? And it has a shade of red, so I think it qualifies for the Red Diva gallery to.

What a great idea using the punches and side border like that. Great idea with the Christmas tree too.

Gorgeous card! Pretty border and lovely tree {now I have to have that shimmery ink}. I especially like how you did the sentiment. Thankfully I wont have to buy something new for copying that. LOL! Have a great weekend, Karen.
