I did this card for the Bling Love Fest challenge. I was inspired by this week's QFTD Mary. (What a fantastic gallery she has!) Also, I was inspired in our Christmas Card Challenge to use something in our stash that we had forgotten about. This stamp set by Recollections with the tree had never been opened and I have no clue where I got it or how long I have had it! The package was already a die cut in my stash, and the ribbon or whatever it is was all loose in my stash. Don't know where it came from. Also, I was using some ink I like Su! retired Glorious Green, and wondered if I had any of that retired CS. Sure enough, a whole unopened package. Now, is this hoarding or what?
Congratulations Queen Mary, here is the card I cased: 2012 Christmas Card I can't believe you made 50 of them GF! I loved it, but my white on white cards don't come out as pretty as that, so was afraid to use it. Thank you for your inspiration! TFL
Edit: Splitcoast friends are the best! None of you said anything about my upside down embossed bg panel. I will fix it and not send it out that way!
You all are the best, love you and thank you for your sweet comments!

Your use of your stashed stuff is awesome! I love how you decorated the present! The ribbon is a nice touch! Great use of challenges for an extra cool card!

LOL, Sharon, I didn't even notice the upside down panel until I read your edit. My Daddy always said I didn't know up from down! Love this with the traditional colors and that pretty present!
