Hi All, I found another fun Christmas Card challenge called Merry Monday Christmas challenge through my friend Leanne, so I made this card to fit the theme of Chocolate Brown, Green, Gold and White or Cream! It took me a bit to find the right image but I finally found this one from Magic Moonlight, it was a free image I saved a long time ago. I tried gold flock on the little birdies, but I like the Stickles Gold Glitter better. I used Stampin Up Chocolate Brown for the 1/8th and 1/16th frames I cut with my Perfect Layers Rulers. The green envelope and background paper are from Gecko Galz Grandmothers House papers. This is my 5th card for my Christmas card stash, I am really happy I am accomplishing 2 of my goals for this year, to enter more challenges and to get my Christmas cards done before November. Well, that's it for today, thanks for stopping by. ~Diane
