Ever need a real big card to fit something in it? Big cards have their places - this one accommodates inserts, so the A8 size card fits the bill.
The card was easy to assemble.
The designer paper is very flimsy and shiny - I "wrapped" a piece of 6.75" x 4.75" white cardstock with it to give the paper dimension and stability.
Pretty texture!
Sketch is from Sparkle N Sprinkle's December Sketch.
Simple little red flowers and gold leaves finish the corner.

This is a gorgeous Christmas card! Love the design and the touch of golden leaves! Wishing you a very Merry Christmas. BTW, the snowman canvas you asked about, I did do a step by step on Frilly and Funkie. Take a look and if there is something you want to know, just ask! It is my first real canvas and won't be the last!
