I used the Basic Frames Die Set for the background, and used the Sunscape Stencil with Yellow Distress Inks (Fossilized Amber, Mustard Seed, Squeezed Lemonade) to emphasize the glow of the tree! then I splattered some white acrylic ink in top!
the entire scene was then placed onto some cardstock from the Love & Meows paper pad!

I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto white cardstock, and then die cut it out with the Speech Bubbles Die Set. I used Distress Inks (Picked Raspberry, Abandoned Coral, Dried Marigold) to add some color to mimic the red baubles on, and around, the tree!
