Surround with Joy

I'm on a roll with the holiday cards this week.

At first glance at this sketch challenge from Create with Connie & Mary (#CCMC361) I wasn't thinking holiday.

I was actually thinking of coming up with a sympathy card.

That card unfortunately never came to fruition.

Do you see the Gold Metallic Thread on my tree?


Here is a closer view. 

The thread was just thin enough to wrap around the tree to coordinate with the lines within the tree image.

    I agree...wrapping the tree with metallic thread is genius! Everything on your card works so well together - the embossing, the papers and the gold touches. How fun and exciting to see a Christmas card! Thank you for joining us at Create with Connie and Mary!
