Glad Tidings

In between painting my kitchen walls I managed to come up with this card. It is too tempting having lovely new stash, just had to have a play!
I followed the Ismaki sketch as it has been ages since I have played along, so long that I didn't realise the sketch was last weeks! Oh well, better late than never! Also as I used my new Basic Grey Wassail papers and the Basic Grey challenge is 'Christmas' I decided to double up, they may be the only challenges I manage to take part in this week, although I would love to squeeze in another card later in the week.
I used this sweet new image from Sugar Nellie 'Trimming the tree' illustrated by Elisabeth Bell. I had to get both tree trimming stamps so watch out for the next one...it is one of my favourite parts of Christmas!

Hi Deb,

This card is stunning - don't you just love this little stamp. I love the colours you have used - I would also be really interested to know where you got your flowers from - I just can't find any nice Christmas ones.

You are my 3rd comment on my PIF candy so if you could send me an email with your address I will get a little surprise package in the post to you next week.
