I have to make another 3 Christmas cards this week to keep on track while we are overseas.
This card is for both the DD Christmas Challenge for February and the holly is my element that meets this challenge, yea finally some holly lol.
It is also for the week before lasts sketch challenge. The hardest part of this card was getting the greeting onto the frame but once you have an idea you don't like letting go lol.
Hope you like it.
Cheers
Marg

Very pretty! Your snow falling looks wonderful behind your framed Robin. I do say the frame is very clever and the snow on the holly looks perfect. Very pretty indeed!

Fabulous! Love the greeting around the frame. Great job! Love the sweet bird perched on the snowy holly. I like how the holly spills out of the frame. The Softly Falling embossing is excellent! Wonderful way to use the sketch. Love it! TFS

This is a wonderful use of this sketch. I really like the softly falling embossing in the background and you are so clever to stamp the greeting around the frame. I like the out of the frame technique for your holly and the snow on top of your holly leaves. Lovely!
