I was inspired by The Card Concept challenge #81 and TGIF challenge #133 for my card. The inspiration picture made me reach for the A Perfect Christmas paper collection, which had the perfect classic feel to go with the inspiration piece.
I first looked at my sentiments to find a long, one-line one that could fit in the section between the two patterned papers as in the sketch. I found what I was looking for ("Christmas Blessings") in the Christmas Pines stamp set, and based off of that, I decided that the ornements at the top of the sketch would be the pine boughs and pinecones from the same stamp set (and the matching dies - Pretty Pines).
The rest was just a quick combinations of those elements. Because the jute twine bow is bulky and the sparkly die-cut bow hangs off the card slightly, I used some Cherry Cobbler cardstock and my envelope punch board to make a slightly larger envelope (A4 format).
