It's Saturday again and time to share another Christmas card! I've been doubling up of the challenges and today's card uses both Unscripted Sketches Sketch #175 and also the "Wooden it be Nice" challenge from Shopping Our Stash Challenge #67.
This card has a fun wintery feel with the colors of the holiday season. For the "Wooden it be Nice" challenge, I used a piece of Basic Grey woodgrain patterned paper that happened to match with the color palette of my holiday paper that is from a DCVW holiday stack. For the sketch, I used a 1/2" circle punch to punch out circles in three places that are accented with punched silver snowflakes accented with mini gems. I rubbed around the circles with red chalk ink to add a glow and popped up the whole paper. I replaced the punched pieces behind for a fun twist.

**A TIP** I used 1/8" red fun foam in place of pop-dots to pop up this large piece of patterned paper adhered with Miracle Tape.
To finish off this card, I applied a "Happy Holidays" rub-on from Cosmo Cricket accented with a few more snowflake and star punches. All of these came from one snowflake Martha Stewart "Aspen Flurry" punch all over the page - the pieces are actually the pieces punched away and leave a beautiful negative punched background...a win, win!
