The Merry Christmas Challenge #5

Hi Crafty Friends,
Are you sticking with your goal to continue making Christmas cards year round? I love thinking that I might be ahead of the game for next Christmas.
Today's The Merry Christmas Challenge optional theme is Wreaths.   I usually design my cards including papers and embellishments and then color my image.  However, for this card I had the image already colored with no card in mind.  I made it into a card which included a wreath and the more I looked at it, it just didn't make creative sense to me so ... off came the image and using a new selection of papers and sentiment, here is the final product. Good thing a wreath is optional - maybe another time, another card.

This cute little Santa Monster is from Sherri Baldy's My Besties.  I colored using Copic Markers and added Frosted Lace Stickles to the hat.  The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom's Christmas Signs set.
