Whimsy Stamps 12 Days of Christmas - Day 2

Hi friends, it's day 2 of Whimsy Stamps Twelve Days of Christmas, and I'm up!  I wanted to do something a little modern for my card today, and this is what I came up with:

I started by stamping black stripes (Basic Backgrounds and Borders) on a white base.  I set it aside while I die cut the large word Merry die from green cardstock twice, stacked them up, and stamped the words from Christmas Backgrounds on it.  I stamped the rest of the sentiment (Christmas Greetings) on a white panel, and glued on the "Merry".  I stamped a tree (Oh, Christmas Tree ) on scrap paper, cut it out, popped it up on my main panel, and added some red enamel dots.  I tied silver cording on it before adhering my main panel and a black cardstock strip on my striped base.
