Pressies Galore

Hi all, hope you are all well.
My post today was made as a sample for my friend Sheila's Bling It Up challenge. Why not pop over and check it out you.
I started with my usual white base card - C5.  I matted some gold mirri card and them some backing paper which was a freebie from the making cards magazine last year.

My image is gorgeous little girl from Wild Rose Studio's and is a clear stamp which I purchased from Joanna Sheen's website.  I stamped her in black versafine and clear embossed her.  I then coloured her in with copics.  The presssies are coloured in with sakura pens.  I added glitter to the fur on her hat and coat, also glittered some snow drops.
I then diecut her out and matted her onto some gold card, a faux nestie.
The snow flake ribbon at the back is a martha stewart punch.  The poinsettia flower is spellbinders and I have used distress inks to stencil it, finishing off with a gold mirri card candi.  The leaves are the new dies from marianne.  I have also put some red glitter on the berries of the leaves.
I do hope you like this one.  Thanks as always for taking the time to stop by and do take care.
