I just love these colors together!! Thanks so much for choosing them!!!
My Christmas cards this year are just like this one, 'cept I made the door out of Very Vanilla and distressed the edges. The wreaths originally were made out of the MS branch punch (until my strong, handsome, [did I mention strong?] hubby broke my branch punch as he was trying to help me make the cards! Gotta love him! (No worries, I ordered one from E-bay and it is enroute! YAY!)...
Anyway, I thought the door would look cool in these colors. I used the wood ef, did the edges in White Colorbox ink, used another MS leaf punch for the wreath and tied it all with a Marina Mist bow. Found a shiny gold brad for the doorknob. Added SU! Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Diamonds to the wreath for the sparkle. I kinda like it!

Lesley, your Christmas card recipients are going to be over-the-moon with this lovely card. I like how you created a front door with white lines on the woodgrain EF brown...very creative! Those glitter-edged red holly leaves had to take patience AND time.....but oh, how gorgeous! How terrific that your DH wants to help...even if he gets a little "heavy-handed". : )

I found the branch punches to be a bit hard to use and easy to break. I'm on my third, so be easy on your DH!! I love that door and RED wreath!! Fab job!
