Trees and snowman with stocking

I have made this card for this week's challenge over at Catch the Bug - it's Anthing Goes week.

I've been digging through my stash of ready made items, which were intended for but not used on previous cards. There I found the snowman from Bugaboo as well as the squirrel (Lawn Fawn) and the stamped trees and stocking (Panduro). I just cut the panels and the banner (dies fro MFT), embossed the smaller panel and used a tree stencil (Tim Holtz) on the larger one. The sentiment came free with a magazine.


This card is also for:

    Brilliant design, Pia! It's a clever choice making your own background with the trees stencil to match the ready made items! The whole design looks so cute and love that snow embossed panel. Well done!
