Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper December 2022 challenge

This is my design card for my Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper December 2022 challenge. If you make anything that includes some patterned paper or card you can link your entries. Please click on the challenge link to find out more and join in the fun.

Having run the Patterned Paper blog for eight years, I've been thinking it's time for a break .... this isn't an easy or quick decision, but one that has been on my mind for some time and recent family situations and life in general has made me realise that this is the right decision. I've been through difficult times during those eight years and have never missed a challenge. So the December challenge will be the last one,

I've been so grateful for all those who have been on the design team over the years, including, of course, the present ones. So many have shared their inspirational designs and so many wonderful crafters have entered the challenges to share theirs.

This is a commissioned card using some papers and matching decoupage (bought a whole load of these a few years ago and am still using them up from time to time).
