I usually don't like my one layer cards- I see a lot of white and it makes me nervous. I added the border after it laid on the desk for a couple of hours and I am happier with the results. I was inspired by the inspirational photo on the Jingle Belles Challenge. I loved the colors on the tree. This will be one of the Christmas cards I give my girls at work. I am entering this card into the following challenges.

Oh, Amy, this is beautiful, and what a great card by the inspiration photo. I can see why the sky is so beautiful - almost like the Northern Lights. And I really love the border - it does add just the right finishing touch. I guess I'm not alone in having to walk away from my cards for a while to get a fresh look. It was worth it, and this will be a wonderful card for friends at work. Hugs!
