The Old School challenge at Make the Cards is to use any or all of the items shown in the graphic below. I die cut the white panel with a stitched die, the used the Christmas Tree from Spellbinders Merry Stitching die set. I used DMC floss color 700 for the tree and gold cord from my stash for the base. The sentiment is from Sentimental Holiday, stamped in Red Velvet. I matted the white panel with Red Velvet then Lucky Clover on a white card base. I lost the little star cutout, so cut another from holographic CS. As I was moving things on my desk, I found the original star, so layered that under the holographic one for a bit of dimension. I added a bit of bling from my stash, and another Christmas card done.
