Non Christmas card with Christmas stamps

Hi Everyone,

here is a challenge just to my liking - and I have thought about this in the past, wishing somebody would offer that as a challenge - make a non Christmas card with Christmas stamps - and here it is - put on by Make the  Day Special Stamp Store! Hurrah!

I used this ancient Hero Arts set - love that one and picked that skinny bare Christmas tree. Stamped a half circle at the top of my card with Versamark and heat embossed it in white. I then masked the wedges and sponged them with distress inks in rainbow colors. 

The sentiment is from the set OWH Year Round sentiments. Also  heat embossed it in white. I die cut the card stock using the stitched square die by Simon Says Stamps, glued it onto fun foam and mounted it onto a white card base. Added the silver embroidery thread and tiny sequins. 

So how do you like that challenge theme? You can also play in this month A2z Scarpbooking Store Challenge - its CAS as a theme - you have to use a Hero Arts stamp. and if you have ANY stamping need you can custom order from the A2z scrapbooking store using Cornelia15 for a 15% discount!
