Such a sweet stylised tree Kathy and love the contrasting blue stars and red sentiment which goes with the matted layer..all in all a fab Christmas make. Personally the cooler temps are much better and the rain has not been very heavy so far..hopefully it wil stay that way. x
Another fantastic card, I like the CAS and wow factor, the tree is great, nicely done again doing the inside...awesome.
Thanks for playing our challenge at Krafty Chicks Challenge this week.
