A card for today's CAS challenge which is a sketch.
I used a recycled wedding invitation in shades of purple and aqua which I had been saving. I stamped the tall tree from Nice and Narrow three times and cut out the circle from Nestabilities. I sponged around the edges, colored the stars with copics and added some pearls which were colored with copics to match - also sponged around the edges with Cool Caribbean and then sprayed it with glitter spray. I punched out some stars with the SU country star punch and added some colored pearls using those for the strip to the left in the sketch. I arranged the Merry Christmas stamp in a circular shape on the acrylic block so that it would fit around the circle. Finished off by adding a bow and some curly lines around the stars to match the curly lines of the trees.

Beautiful colors, very funky card! A very creative way to repurpose the old wedding invitation. Those colored pearls and the bows are the perfect embellishments!
