Challenge #8 (03-16-09)

This week's challenge was to "Create a card by incorporating a scenery design using designer papers." Here were her examples : Cut an image out from your designer paper like a Christmas tree and you can add that as your background, punch squares with the designer paper to create Christmas presents by adding a ribbon, punch flowers with the designer paper to create a floral back ground.
Well I did not follow the challenge to the T this round.... but I love my card! I took strips of different papers for the background, I then cut the star shape from a matching pattern paper. Boughs of Holly was cut from the same papers! I did use a snowflake stamp for the background on the green. Stampin Up's eyelet punch and ribbon add the final touch!
