Holly Angel

My Sister asked me to make her friend in Argentina a Christmas Card, so this is it.................

The papers used are from NitWits 'Simple Joys Collection'.

The image is called 'Holly Angel' by Motivet. She has been coloured using Promarkers. Her dress has been glittered with Glamour Dust and the holly berries have been touched up with Glossy Accents.

The flower and leaves embellishment were included in the Simple Joys collection kit and has also been glittered with Glamour Dust.

The sentiment is from Lily of the Valley, sent to me by the lovely Bluebertie over at Craft Mad and Loving It, from a sentiment swap.

I have used a Martha Stewart punch called 'Cherish' and it is by far my favourite punch at the moment.

I have followed the sketchie of this weeks challenge, set by Kathy, for Craft Mad and Loving It.
