Something Old

Can you believe it's almost November?  I went into panic mode recently as I hadn't started my Christmas cards, so I decided that this week's DT card for our challenge at Passion for Promarkers should be a Christmas card, well, I suppose that's a start!

Our theme is 'Use Something Old' which for me is the pretty wintry paper - I've had it for ages

Image & sentiment- from 'Gnome' stamp set - Apple Blossom

Paper - 'Frosty Christmas' 8 x 8 pad  - LOTV

Pearls & ribbon - The Hobby House

I used the 'Falling Snow' embossing folder from Creative Expressions and a stitched border die for the snow bank

Finished off with a foamiran poinsettia
