I'm back again with a Christmas card! To view my Magnolia treat bags please scroll down to my earlier post!
I just adore this cute stamp by Elizabeth Bell from EHA called 'Danny Boy Christmas Gift'.
I coloured him and the tree with my Promarkers and added some glitter.
To the inside of the die cut window i stuck some acetate, paper, snow and glitter and on the outside i added some pearl chain which is from 'Live and Love Crafts'. The diecut letters are from Papermania and the ribbon is from my stash.
