A bit more of a CAS feel to this card - a good one to post too!

I have kept the style of this card fairly CAS which means that it is a cheaper card to post.  The image that I have used is from Limited Runs and came with the sentiment O Christmas Tree - just perfect for the challenge at Winter Wonderland!  I have coloured the trees using copic markers YG23, B05 and one other green one which may have been YG11 but can't be too sure.  The sparkly tree embellishment is one that came in a grab bag that I bought a while back. 

If you are unfamiliar with grab bags (they may be called something else in other countries) they are a bag that is often not see-through containing a mixture of items.  These are usually priced pretty close to cost price and are stuff that the shop has had sitting on the shelf and wants to get rid of.  You can get a good bargain but often not know what you have got until you get home.  This particular grab bag had lots of goodies in it and definitely worth buying!
