I've made a card for my Nephew's birthday using HM&Friends 'Gruffies' Bearytastic Day' stamp set.

I've used my Marianne D's Clockand  Mistletoe flower dies, the flowers are embossed with a Papermania freebie folder and i've added some pearls to the centres. I've also used Marianne D's Vintage 'Richelieu' lace. The sentiment and frame stamp are also Fiskars.
