House Mouse Christmas card

Hi folks! Hope you are all well. I believe this is the first Christmas card for the year from me... but alas it is a sample to showcase the House Mouse stamps and so my Christmas card box is still empty :o( Really mustn't leave my Christmas card making too late this year.
I made a diamond top card (instructions here) and covered all the surfaces with some lovely DCWV Christmas paper. I thought it was a fun colour combo to have and also the candy canes worked really well with the stamped image. I used my square Nestabilities to cut some black glitter card and a Quickutz holly die to cut the silver glittercard holly leaves. I stamped and watercoloured the image, which is from the 'Opening Presents' set, cut and adhered onto the card with some dimensional glue gel. I finished off the card with some translucent pink half beads.
Ciao for now!

Now that's one super cute card and makes me want to get started on my Christmas cards. House Mouse stamps are one of my favs. Sure wish they put out some digi ones.
Beautifully done Sandra!
