A Fairy Merry Christmas...

Good morning to you all, it's time for a new challenge at Allsorts challenge blog. Our theme this week is In Stitches so we would like to see real or faux stitching on your project. Our fab sponsors this time are FlonzCraft and Sir Stampalot.

 

I have been a bit out of the loop for the last couple of weeks so haven't posted much or been keeping up with blogs properly, I hope to recify that over the next week or so as I am missing you all and missing my crafting.

So onto my DT card, I have used a super cute fairy stamp from our sponsor FlonzCraft and decided to make a festive card. I have kept my card simple with pretty snowflake paper and a couple of embellies...
