For this challenge I decided to keep the card very simple and except for the sentiment, I used dies. The sentiment is from A divinity Designs set called Beary Christmas, the village is from Cottage Cutz and is one I’ve used a fair amount since its purchase and the mountains were almost an accident but were cut with a Hero Arts set I’ve had for about a year. While working on another project I used the Hero Arts dies to cut mountains along with some trees and a cabin and the piece on this card was leftover similar to a fall out would be. I also had 2 navy card bases ready on my desk and I set this offcut on top of one of them while continuing with the other project. Once that was finished I realized that the offcut looked interesting on the navy base so I trimmed it a little to make it look tidier and added it. Then I die cut several of the village out of the same white CS and glued them together to give them some dimension. I added this layer to the card base under the mountains. After stamping the sentiment I contemplated adding some embellishments but decided against it. I rather like the starkness and simplicity of this card and hope you do too.
Very lovely! I like it without embellishments.

Your navy and white is so very striking. The little village die cuts are set off so nicely with your mountain range behind them. I agree no embellishments needed.
