Here is my weekly Design Team card for Sweet Pea Stamps. As Christmas will soon be here I decided to make a Christmas card using the Sweet Pea Stamps image by Ching-Chou Kuik called "Holly Fairy". It is available as a digital stamp, single rubber stamp and as part of a multi-image plate (Sheet 21, Plate 60 - Holly Fairy comes on the multi-image plate with Poinsettia Fairy, Holly Night and Cherish Christmas).
I have coloured the image in with my Promarkers/Flexmarkers and then inked around the edge with Tim Holtz's Crushed Olive and Peeled Paint distress ink. I have added Glossy Accents to the holly berries.
The backing paper is a freebie from a magazine last year. I have mounted the image on a Marianne Designs die-cut frame. I have finished the card off with some ribbon threaded through the holes, die-cut flower cut from tissue paper and held together with a brad, Marianne Designs die-cut holly, Craftwork Cards die-cut sentiment and some pearls.

Wow Kym, such a gorgeous Christmas card. I love the ribbon threaded through the die cut frames and the effect you have created in your tissue paper flower is so soft and natural looking. Good luck in our challenge this week. Ingrid xx ( OSAAT Team )
