Just glowing


Another card that didn't quite come out like it was in my mind. I wanted to enter the https://caschristmascardchallenge which would be my first time ever to enter a Christmas challenge. I cut the wreath from sparkle paper and hung it on the window frame. All elements and the sentiment are Lawn Fawn. I wanted a soft glow inside the window. Anyone passing this house would think the house was probably on fire since I used the wrong shade of yellow. Not what I pictured!  The little berries on the wreath are from red mirri cardstock. Well, you have to start somewhere.


Be kind to one another.
