Here's my CAS card.
The Evergreen Circle was die cut in the bottom right corner of a Bristol stitched rectangle panel that was from my stash. To give the die cut trees dimension, two more Evergreen Circles were die cut and stacked, then the bottom trimmed for a straight bottom edge. Stacked those trees onto the first die cut trees and added clear shimmer on the trees for some sparkle.
A circle slightly larger than the Evergreen Circle was die cut next from Whisper White cardstock and blue ink was sponged onto it. The sentiment was stamped with the same blue ink then heat embossed with clear glitter embossing powder. Although this is a dye ink, it remains wet long enough to allow heat embossing. Popped the panel up with foam tape onto a white card base, then added a couple of snowflake sequins to finish.

This is one CAS beauty Trina. The two tones of blue sponging are so perfectly dosed and the vibrant sentiment brings so much balance. Your dimensional trees with the shimmer finish are definitely the focal point. The popped up frame with the circle aperture bring our eyes to that peaceful place. So smart!
