FF16ashjoy = not everything is what it seems. Take an image/stamp set that is meant for a holiday and use it for another holiday/occasion.
I used today's Sketch Challenge for the format(changing the orientation to a vertical) and made a birthday card from a TT set(minus holiday greeting) that was meant for Christmas.

This is gorgeous in every way! I love this wonderful image that you water colored to the 9's. The way you paint and shade around your images, highlight with white and add the most subtle splatters to and trim out in gold is amazing! My mother's birthday is December 22nd and this is definitely a card she would LOVE because it is both rustic and not Christmas specific. Wow! ~Karen.

Love the way you added the snow to this pinecone and its needles. So lovely.
