CD Sunday Challenge - Shape it up

Hello there.  A drizzly Saturday morning here, but I hope the sun shines through later.  The flowers could do with a drop of rain water.

For the CD Sunday Challenge Margaret has chosen the challenge of using shaped cards. Now that is a challenge for me!  Here is my card

Obviously this challenge calls for some elements from a CD to be used.  I have used papers and topper from the Crafter's Companion Nordic Christmas collection, from the Crafter's Inspiration magazine CD issue 8.  I have tried to do stepper cards before, but for some reason they never turn out so they stand up straight!  This took 3 goes, but what helped was the video by Sara Davies on her Ulti-cards and Boxes Video Project DVD - this came with the issue 9 magazine.  I quite like this one, and there will be more to come.  My first christmas card of the year!!  Have fun with the challenge.

    I zoomed in on your card as I wanted a closer look at the backing papers - I really like those! And the reindeer is adorable LOL! Well done on persevering with the shape and thanks for joining in the challenge.
