or birthdays very near to Christmas. When I started this card it was going to be another Christmas card, but it sort of changed along the way. The image and backing papers are taken from Joanna Sheen's Fashion Boutique CD and printed on to glossy photo paper. The image was mat and layered on to two shades of brown card and gold mirri card to add more glitz. I've added border and corner peel offs to both the image and the outside of the card and a gold leaf with berries that has been in my stash for ages. The gold peel off sentiment looks a bit wonky in the photo, but it was straight on the card I'm sure.
My card is for the challenges at ...
- Crafty Ann's Challenge - Christmas and a sketch (spooky how I started this card yesterday and yet it is so close to Ann's sketch that I just had to enter it)
- Alphabet Challenge - Foliage (think the lady sitting on the branch holding her bunch of mistletoe should count)
- Tanda Teaser - Ladies Only
- CD Sunday - White Christimas ( I do hope this card is okay even though it is a birthday card - I did print the image originally with this challenge in mind - honest!)
- Allsorts Challenge - Monochrome

Definitely spooky Ann - you must have been inside my head! Poor you, I'm sure you don't deserve it!! You're right, it's so close to the sketch that you had to enter it and the image is right for the other part of the either/or challenge anyway. It's gorgeous and I'm so pleased you shared it with us all.

Gorgeous card Ann. As others have already said the layout is fab and the overall impression is of elegance. HOWEVER ...
All those beautiful layers mean this card won't be fluttering gently through someone's letterbox - it's going to land with a 'thwump" so better watch out for those toes lol!
