Circles and Flowers Christmas

Clean and Simple Christmas Card inspired by a card I saw in the gallery on splitcoaststampers.  The card used three circles as the focal point with a flower in the center circle and the sentiment in the lower right corner.  I used three circle scraps I had left over from another project and whipped this card up.  I used three flowers with pearls.  The pearls were originally white and I used my Cardinal (R59) Copic Ciao marker to color the pearls to match the SU Cranberry Crisp (Retired) ink I used for the sentiment.  The sentiment is from the Heard from the Heart Set.  Finished size is 4-7/8 x 5-1/2 and I rounded the bottom corners.  The circle colors are also SU retired colors (Handsome Hunter and Mellow Moss).  The center circle was stamped with the snowflake stamp from the current SU Jolly St. Nick set (Holiday Mini Catalog).  I'm trying to use up my retired card stock as I come up with design ideas for my November stamp camp in which we will make clean and simple handmade Christmas cards.  Don't forget to check my SU website/blog if you are interested in shopping for current SU items.  To make this card with current colors you could use Always Artichoke, Certainly Celery and Cherry Cobbler.
