Pennant Parade for Christmas

I know you don't really think of brown for Christmas so you could make this a non Christmas card - just change the sentiment and don't use the stars on top of the trees. But for me, I don't mind brown on my Christmas cards - it gives it a woodland, natural look.

I used the Pennant Parade stamp set and coordinating Petite Pennants Builder Punch to make the trees. The stamp set includes a cute little flower pot to use with the trees but I wanted plain ole tree trunks so I used cardstock that I cut myself. 

Can you believe I forgot I even had the Very Vanilla Stitched Velvet Ribbon??! It is found in the Holiday Mini. Well I pre-ordered it, used it a few times, and then it "disappeared". I suspect a certain furry, purry critter was playing with it. lol. So out of sight, out of mind I guess! Anyway, I am so glad I found it because it really is a lovely ribbon.

After I made the card and stepped back to look at it I felt it needed something in the upper left corner. I had a piece of embossed cardstock in my stash so I punched a circle from it, trying to center the medallion type image. Voila, a moon!
