Happy bloomin' Xmas!

Evening all!

I finally finished this card it has taken me an age! I've been busy with wedding preparations all week so I've gad to finish this card in 10 minute snippets here and there.

The good news is almost everything is sorted now - I even made a decision on my wedding ring today (I've only been trying to chose one for over a year lol).

Anyway on to my card, the new Molly bloom Xmas stamps finally arrived at my local craft shop (the craft box in elsecar) so I picked up these four and immediately pictured this card in my head. I inked them up as soon as i got them home (last week) and it's taken me this long to finish the card!

I used my promarkers and flexmarkers to colour them in.

The dp is also from a selection at the craft box, the snow flakes are from a MC die.
The flowers and seam binding are from WOC and everything has been distressed with TH walnut stain - I can't seem to lay any paper down without distressing and inking it to death lol.

I went for a lot darker card than I usually do I hope you like it.

Thanks so much for visiting my little blog..
