Second card for today for the QFTD178 Challenge. This time I'm honoring Susan(bri). I chose this beautiful Christmas card to CASE.
I LOVE making Christmas cards ... just like Susan. Her gallery is filled with loads of beautiful Christmas cards. There are so many fabulous ideas that I am sure I'll be CASE'ing more. Thank you Susan, for all your inspiring cards ... and your generous comments. I hope you like the card I made in your honor, my friend!
I used brick embossing for the red squares in the background. And I built the wreath using a ring of cardstock, covered with pine sprig die-cuts that I coated with Sparkle Texture Effects to look like snow.

Loll, I'm blown away by how gorgeous this is!! And I'm honoured that you chose to CASE me for QFTD. I'll be CASEing your CASE of my card! Great idea to use the brick ef on the red squares. And I love the use of the Sparkle Texture on the pine sprigs (I'll definitely be trying that on my next wreath card). Thank you so much!

You are a brilliant designer!!The backing of your snowy wreath is the appearance of both wall and window frame. This whole card simply ROCKS!!! I have not heard of sparkle texture effects, so I will look into that! Pinned and faved for sure!
