Showing off some paper

I decided to go simple with this Christmas card. I've always liked this paper, and it usually gets buried behind an image, so I thought it'd feature it this time around. I added a sentiment, embossed on a vellum overlay, and a little charm to finish it off.

The card is for these challenges:
ABC Christmas -- O is for overlay
Rudolph Challenge -- anything Christmas
Winter Wonderland -- use a charm
Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge #291 -- use a sentiment
Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge  Extra -- anything Christmas
Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge-- use dp

    This paper is certainly worth taking centre stage Sandy and I love the sentiment on the vellum and the little stocking charm finishes it beautifully. Thank you for joining us for the July Rudolph Days Challenge. x

    I like this! There are so many wonderful papers out there and then we always bury them. This proves we don't have to.

    Great way to feature this paper. I pulled out some Xmas tree paper and this would certainly solve the problem of not wanting to cover it up!
    Thanks for taking part in the July Rudolph Days Challenge.

    Hi Sandy, a gorgeous card, I agree so many beautiful papers often end up obscured by other elements... have a great week... Megan
