I started with pistachio cardstock for my card base

Next using patterned papers from the milk and cookies 6x6 paper pad 

By trimming them down and layering them on top of each other leaving a border 

Next I cut another strip of patterned paper to go in the center of the card

Then I cut a another strip of white cardstock just a bit smaller in height to leave a border on 2 sides of the cardstock strip.

Then I cut a strip of vellum to fit over the top of the strips of the cardstock and patterned paper 

Then I stamped the clear acrylic stamps happy holidays on the vellum with the new medium acrylic block and versafine ink and applied white embossing powder over it and heat set it.

Then layering them together I put little holes in 4 corners of the stripes and added mini brads

Added a mini white doily in the center of the card then adhered the strip with my sentiment across the middle of the doily.
