Here is my take on these challenges...

Here is Sheryl's description of my card......

Karien your card is both stunning and creative!

What a lovely job you did paper piecing the

Holly Stocking digi!

The blue striped accents on the stocking look

great with the pretty snowflakes.

We love the fun pom-pom fringe! 

And the pretty ribbon and bells, along with the

sparkly snowflakes, certainly do make your

card festive!

Then the pretty white die cut in the background

gives the illusion of swirling snow with

the pretty blue gems you added.

 

Thanks Sheryl this is much appreciated!
