Green and gold--classic Christmas. For Make the Cards Challenge #38 with green as the challenge color.
I was to the point, my mojo was stifled by such a mess of Christmas paper, I couldn't decide on anything. I sorted and straightened my box of paper and found some cards from a SU kit. Green--just what I need at the moment. The green paper has feathers, deer, and poinsettias--odd combo you think? The kit came with gold metallic deer and star stickers. I put an accent strip of the green with metallic gold feathers behind the green and gold circles. The sentiment is from SU Itty Bitty Christmas. A gold metallic ribbon ties it all together.
Here is the inspiration for the challenge

I know just how you feel when you can't decide what papers and embellishments to use. Choosing papers for a card can take me SOOOO long!! Even though it took you a while to get started, you did a super job on this card. I haven't seen feathers on Christmas DSP before, but, hey, why not! The gold adds a nice metallic touch, too.
