Simon Says Stamp Create Joy Blog Hop

Hello, and welcome to my stop on the Simon Says Stamp Create Joy blog hop.
Today I am honoured to be part of a group of bloggers celebrating Simon Says Stamp's latest release - a fabulous Christmas and holiday collection packed full of gorgeousness.
You should have arrived from Nichol's amazing blog - oh how I love everything she makes… if not, head to the Simon Says Stamp blog to start from the beginning.
--------
I created a clean and simple white on white card for you today featuring the beautiful Christmas Tree die. I cut it from white card, then adhered to a white Stitched Rectangle panel with tiny foam squares. I added various gemstones and pearls over the adhesive, and finished it off with a lovely sentiment from the Big Peace stamp set.
Peace Tree by Lucy Abrams
I love the peaceful effect that white on white gives - and with a touch of silver sparkle it is a perfect colour combination for Christmas don't you think?
