So if you are interested why are you waiting? We are a lovely bunch of people I promise :)

Here is my creation for the challenge using Skinny Bird Christmas Ornament and sentiment from 3 square tree.

I used a botanicals base card, which seems strange, but I thought the pattern looked kinda like Christmas lights. I coloured the image with chalks and metallic pencils from Papermania and Stabilo in traditional Christmas colours. I rounded the corners before matting onto deep green pearlescent cardstock. I changed the colour of the sentiment before printing out and then matted onto the same cardstock, but rounded the corners of the cardstock this time to give a contrast. I overlapped the two slightly and then added a bauble and some metallic pearls to finish.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
