I am a sucker for botanical images, and for Christmas, this set caught my eye! The entire image didn't fit on the panel, but I centered it as best I could. I make many envelopes with the punch board, and placed one here as an option. Using the mercury glass paper as a mat for the panel bases led me to a simple metallic thread closure. I am keeping this card - it's my first-born upload!

What a splendid creation! Such lovely winter images, and such a well executed card. Love the special decorative edge along the top and that sparkly ribbon is just the right touch to hold it all together. Love that you even created the envelope...such a creative touch.

This is a beauty! I would totally keep it too. I love how the card unfolds. All the different panels are done wonderfully. And I like using part of stamp images. I think many people forget that it's "OK" not to have the entire stamp being used on the project. Nice work!
