Christmas Branch

I loved this card:SC570 Crazy Wheat vky by Vickie Y at Splitcoaststampers done by Vickie, our featured Stamper today. But I am in need of Christmas cards so I changed it up a bit to a Christmas theme.

Beautiful. Love how you adapted your inspiration selection from Vickie's gallery to the card theme you needed. A wonderful CAS design. The multi-colored circle is a nice background for the beautiful branch. The edges are wonderful and go so well with the holly. Sequins are a lovely finish. Well done! TFS

The masking and sponging on the card are so striking with the embossed image outside the circle. Beautiful card, Pat!

Your reverse masking technique shi8nes on this beautiful card. I love the holly/pin image and your touches of bling with the sequins.

What a lovely CAS and cased card, Pat. Such a pretty sponged bg behind your embossing image. Very creative.
