Spellbinders | Advent Calendar Day 7

Hello! Today I am sharing card created with the surprise for Day Seven in the Crafty Advent Calendar from Spellbinders. Follow along on the Spellbinders blog for daily inspiration.

Day Seven was a three-piece stencil set with which I made a Christmas card. I used the same design as the one for Day Three.

I applied Slippery When Wet, Later Gator, and Bee Sting Lunar Paste through the stencils to Snowdrift cardstock, allowing dry time between the three applications.
Once the panel was dry, I cut with the tree die in the Blooming Tree set.
I glimmer-foiled in Gold the Mini Christmas Sentiments sentiment on a dark-red cardstock panel.
I cut the foiled panel with the largest Essential Arches die.
I adhered the arch panel to a Snowdrift cardstock A2-size base.
I embellished the tree with a star cut from Brushed Gold with a die in the Holiday Decorations set and the panel with Gold Mix Gems.
