My card is made to honor Kathy aka CAKath as QFTD #37. There were plenty of beautiful cards to case in Kathy's wonderful gallery but and I settled on this gorgeous one. A Flutter of HOPE by CAKath at Splitcoaststampers
I kept the sketch, used a different opening, didn't add as many embellishments...only because I couldn't get mine to work. Kathy used some gorgeous butterflies. And, I used a different embossing folder to go with my Christmas theme.
I have a new Punch All Over the Page I wanted to use. Embossed my holly and added stickles to the holly berries and part of the bell.
Kathy, enjoy your reign as Queen!!
