I love your first card Kathy, and the shaped stencilled background echoes the shape beautifully from the original, and the black silhouette flowers are so pretty too, and the Studiolight Christmas tree collage type image is wonderful and I love it in that Versafine Clair darkish green, really perfect with the bit of colour on the circle and the blue in the background around the tree. x
