Card Design: Digi Darla's Challenge #91--Copycat with a Twist

Howdy ho this first Monday in December.  I hope you are all well.  

You know, the one thing I seemed to be keeping on top of, was my card making.  Now apparently I'm dragging behind there as well.  I didn't even get the inside of this one finished in time for posting.  So, I better get to it!

It is time to introduce the latest challenge taking place at the delightful Digi Darla's Challenges Blog. This week for Challenge #91 the theme is "Copycat with a Twist".  It is Laura's turn this month to come up with challenge ideas.  For this challenge, your goal is to 'Deck the halls with boughs of holly' and that is easy to do since this is also our monthly copycat challenge and the free image waiting for you over on the challenge blog to use in this week's entry is a bough of holly.  The twist is that we also want to see a banner on your card.  

Since you need to use the image we are giving away on your project, that means that everyone is eligible for the opportunity to win eight images!  They would be perfect for all those Christmas cards you still need to get to.
 

Here are the card and details, I hope I haven't forgotten anything...

General Comments: 
  • Another pretty simple CAS card front.

    • I created a similar shape to use as a backdrop, coloured it red and enlarged it.
