CASE the card

Hello all, welcome to another week at ABC Christmas challenge.  I'm so happy to see my Christmas card stash grow and it's only February - hee hee, I'm loving this gig!  This week's challenge was an interesting one - CASE a card previously made by one of the DT.  Oh so many pretty cards to choose from!

This is my card:

And this is Samantha's card that I cased from a March 2012 challenge:

I really liked the pastel colours and the tilted image, so I used a Fancy Pants paper pad with a softer colour scheme and kept fairly close to the original layout.  Fun!  It's hard to tell in the picture, but her wings are all sparkly too.

PS - I've been playing around with the blog design, I decided it was time for something new.  I'm trying to keep it clean and easy to read, what do you think?  Less cluttered?
