If you can't tell by the title, our cards need to have an opening/window/aperture of some kind. I had the perfect stamp set featuring an opening........ but it's for the spring and wouldn't make a good holiday card. So, after mulling it around for a while, this is what I came up with.
A wreath has a hole in it right? But then I thought there should be something in that hole and I remembered this card that I had pinned and how I loved that deer. I searched and found my deer die cut and then found a scrap of some woodgrain paper that vaguely mimicked the deer on the pinned card (well not really, but it's interesting in itself).
I had embossed the berries on the wreath with gold EP so I added a bow in gold too to complement it. The birch paper looks kind of plain so I may add a "Merry Christmas" die cut to the front, but for now this is another card for the Christmas card stash.
Won't you join me to take a look at all the entries for the Jingle Bell challenge this week? You can by clicking here.
