Merry Monday Challenge #24 & Inspired By#28

I thought I'd try a Christmas card for a change of pace this week - especially when Lesley's Merry Monday sketch reminded me so much of Laurel's inspiration photo at Inspired ByI went with some non traditional colours & papers, and you can't see in the photo, but I added some Stickles to the little pink berries on the wreath for a little sparkle:




Patterned papers are Miss Caroline, Dolled Up by My Mind's Eye; Cardstock is Cocoa, CTMH; Stamp sets are Remarkable Wreath & Christmas Spirit, CTMH; Inks are Cocoa & Blush, CTMH; Stickles.
