Stripes, star, glitter

Stripes, star, glitter might sound like the formula for a Fourth of July card at this time of year, but I'm thinking ahead -- it's a Christmas card. 

Inspired by the joint challenge at Double Trouble and Jingle Belles for using stars and/or stripes on a Christmas card, I pulled out some striped Christmas paper to start the card. I found a snippet of green that coordinated and die cut a tree, then stamped a garland and embossed it in red glitter EP.  Did the same with the star for the top of the tree (die and stamps from a Hampton Arts set).  Added a sentiment and a red satin bow. 

This card is entered in these challenges:

Double Troupe #142 -- Christmas in July (with stars and stripes s=twist and entered in partner challenge at Jingle Belles)

Jingle Belles -- Stars and Stripes 

Word Art Wednesday #603 -- anything goes

Pammie's Inky Pinkies #2327 -- anything goes
