Another Christmas Card!

Yes, I am back with another Christmas card.  I continue to shock myself!  Here is CAS with a bit of Whimsie :>)
The image is a digi from Whimsie Doodles' "Christmas Greetings" set.  I enlarged one of the circle tags and then fussy cut out the main image.
This weekend while visiting challenge blogs I established a list of challenges that just seemed made to go together.  Normally, I combine maybe 2 or 3 challenges at the most, but today's card is for 6 challenges:
Sketch - Clean & Simple Stamping #154  and Jingle Belles - Use Clean & Simple Sketch with a CAS design.
Non-traditional colors - Christmas Stampin' All Year Long
3 Patterned Papers - Whimsie Doodles Wednesday Challenge
Craft Itinerary - Embossing, Kraft, and Stitching - Desert Island Crafts Challenge 14
Punches - Playing in Paradise challenge #29
Thanks for stopping by!!!
Smiles,
Julie
