I decided to recycle some of the Christmas cards I received this year. The present was recycled from one of those cards. I found some red dotted ribbon in my bits and pieces stash and then found some matching patterned paper scraps to go with the color scheme. The three snowflakes were part of a bunch of crafty items I bought at a yard sale a couple years ago. They were already punched and I adhered two together to create each element, to give a little depth and stability.
Supplies:
Stamps: Verve "Ornamental Christmas" sentiment
Martha Stewart snowflake punch
Challenges:
Unicorn Challenge #75--dots and/or stripes (dotted ribbon)
Sparkles #134--Santa Claus is coming to town (there are two Santas on my patterned paper, and they brought a gift)

Lol, I do really like this card, great colors and design. I can count those peeping Santas, I suppose! He must be more shy than I remembered, lol. A very fun collection of details! Thanks so much for playing at Sparkles!

Love this - especially the little right top corner turned over. It is just the little things that make a card so special.
