SweetStamps #147: Simple Christmas

Good morning sweeties!
Happy Tuesday to you!! 
Today, SweetStamps is challenging you to create:
SIMPLE CHRISTMAS
For my card today, I wanted to really keep the card simple and show lots of white spaces.
I found myself, looking at the tress and decided to emboss it white to make it pop against the blue background.  I attempted to make it very simple by creating a one layer card, but that didn't workout to well for me.  I would have achieved it, if I had laid down a thicker layer of masking tape!!  :(
So to salvage it, I cut it and laid it on top of the other card I was working with!!  So it all worked out and I think it looks great! Added several stones to the corners and done!!  :) 
Very simple and super easy to reproduce if needed to be. 

So, I hope you have enjoyed my project today and will find inspiration to join us this week. 
Don't forget we also have our monthly challenge going on.
