Circles and Ovals

The challenge over at Rosie Dee's this week is to have ovals and circles on your creation. There's a sketch to follow which was a good place to start. With Christmas looming I though I'd better get another Christmas card done- so for this challenge I've made the circles from Nestabilties and the letters from my Cuttlebug alphabet. I stamped an Elusive Images Christmas tree onto some white card and then cut out the letters out of it. Then I added some stickles to give them a bit more of a shimmer. The oval was cut using Nestabilities again, the inner oval put through the swiss dots embossing folder. The tree in the middle is another Elusive Images stamp - embossed with green ep. Backing paper is Papermania and corners gold peel offs coloured with Dufex pens.
Thanks very much for visiting.
