Joy Hope Peace Believe Christmas

I've not crafted for a couple of weeks as my sister died suddenly and unexpectedly at the end of last month.  However, I've just written my Christmas cards and found I was a few short so I've made some cards this afternoon.  This one uses one of my favourite dies to make a quick CAS card for a friend who decorates her home in red and gold for Christmas. 

To make this card I used:
     5" x 5" white linen card blank
     Creative Expressions 'Festive Collection - Christmas Tree Greetings' die
     Snippets of red glitter card and gold mirri

I die cut the Christmas tree from red glitter card and attached it to the card blank.  I then used a tiny snippet of gold mirri to cut the star and inlaid the pieces into the top of the tree.  

I am entering the following challenges:

This is a pretty die cut tree Kath and has all the words you associate with Christmas and a lovely star on the top, and of course in a Christmassy red too. So sorry to hear of the loss of your sister and send my heartfelt condolences. x
