Iâm trying to get braver with mixing patterns but Iâm not sure how I feel about this one. I layered some Tim Holtz Christmas paper on brown Kraft cardstock, added the snowflake strip (from a Target dollar spot find, a paper chain making kit) and added the cork ornament. I didnât like the white or brown side so I colored it with my green inkpad.

I'm challenged by combining dps as well, but you chose well here. The greens and patterns work beautifully together. Love the cork tree and that you colored it green -- perfect on this card. Kudos for stepping out of your comfort zone and creating such a lovely holiday greeting.
