I die cut Spellbinders scalloped square from a large snippet smooth white card.  I die cut Clarity Crafts square from large snippet Sizzix texture card.  I used multiple small snippets to die cut John Next Door poinsettia and holly from Sizzix texture card and it took ages to die cut enough.  I won't be doing it that way again lol!  I layered up the poinsettia's with glue and left to dry.   

I stamped the House Mouse image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink at the top of the die cut.  I stamped the sentiment at the bottom of the die cut.  I coloured the inside of the images with alcohol markers, adding more colour where shadow.  

I attached a Post It note across the scalloped die cut and coloured around the image with alcohol markers.  I binned the Post It note.  I attached the scalloped square to the Sizzix glitter card using brads and put to one side.  I covered the front of a 148mm square card with the last piece of a 12" square paper.  I figured out the layout then used foam pads to attached the stamped square.  I adhered the poinsettia's and holly with silicon glue gel.  

I added the last of my little red pearls to the poinsettia's and the stamped panel, I also added three very old robin stickers which I am trying to use up.  Back soon x
