with my apologies to my friend, FS184 CAKath. I cased her beautiful CAS case of FS191 Alimarbles Simple Sparkling Tree for the FS200 challenge to go back and case a FS from the past. Now I realize both these cards are CAS...and I did start out with the best intentions by stamping the Flourish branches directly to paper and also the sentiment...but I went wrong, mi bad, wrong when I couldn't resist using the ornaments from the same fabulous Flourishes set. Suddenly it wasn't a CAS case...
So in the spirit of our beloved Anne Ryan, I'll fess up to cheating...I made it too fancy with those durn ornaments! But I do hope you'll forgive me, CAKath...you know I absolutely adore your work...I did spend ALOT of time perusing your gallery...
Ok, now that I've come clean and ruined my chances for ever being in that august group of Featured Stampers, I'll happily be thankful for your comments on my Blue Christmas....happy Sunday, all!

I really love the colors and creativity of this card! The ornaments truly remind me of real ones on my tree...even the adorable bird! Like how you used brads, too. Only thing I think I would have changed would be the color of ink used for the sentiment...maybe something softer? Either way, awesome card! TFS
