Here's my card:
I chose to get into the Christmas spirit and made this non-traditional colored card. After die-cutting the tree, I ran it through the Cuttlebug with a Damask folder. Then I wrapped it with sheer gray ribbon and added the roses. I wish I could make and mail all of my Christmas cards like this! But, alas, the postage would break the bank!
Here I show how I used the tan as a background shadow by cutting it in half and
glueing it behind the white embossed tree.
Here you can see how I put the silver ball on December 25th and stamped Noel. Some stitching and I must say I am pretty pleased with how this turned out! I hope you like it!

Side note - my dh and I are going on a two week second honeymoon so I won't be commenting or on the computer the entire time (my "gift" to him!"). I will come and visit you all when I get back!

Sue this is just so beautiful! I love the way you lined the tree with the second die cut and then decorated it so sweetly!
I just finished hooking my desktop computer back up this morning and am finally back on line in my little craft space. Maybe I will get to make a card this week - Tim has been down with the stomach flu for 5 days and I haven't made anything in a while...

Am at the Grand Rapids airport waiting for my flight to Dallas. After visiting with mom, I can see I need to spend more time here. We did some tags together and that was fun
