So.. I had originally thought to go fall for Jean's Postage Fallidays challenge found here. and then when I looked at the all white wreath to add some clear stickles I thought, it needs red and it went Christmas, the canceled postage within reach on the table lead me to this one as it was funnily enough pulled off a yellow bubble mailer. ( the po did not cancel it) I glued it to a scrap of red printed paper that was a drop piece from Ann's challenge, decided the red & white swirls looked OK with the wreath and then layered in the Merry Christmas. the ribbon wraps around the foil frame. And no, I did not see I had the main die lined up crooked. but, I did get a glue dot to drop on the front of the red space under the Merry Christmas, and using an adhesive remover from the piece that did not pick off really gave this a glaring scratch, so a big bloom was called for. and shooting this was an adventure but, its really a pretty & shiny red in real life. Thanks for this challenge Jean & tfl.

I think this is absolutely lovely! I love how the inside of the frame is also like a stamp, like the whole card is one big beautiful stamp! Very pretty card!
