Lauren is growing up fast now - she is I suppose a bit of a tomboy but has her 'girly' moments too so I am hoping that she likes this!
Stamped and coloured with Promarkers then the edges distressed and a little sprinkle of glamour dust.
The background holly paper from my stash layered onto dark green card, then a scrap of coordinating dark green holly paper stitched over.
A die cut corner and a great big dark green bow added, the post box given a little bit of that expanding flocky stuff (wish I knew what it's real name was......) and finished with some red flowers and a green crystal drop.
The 'letters' were cut from a 'flowersoft' sheet which I have had for about 8 years - they just seemed to fit!
Inside done to match.
Thanks for looking today - it's a cold day here so no play possible as the green is frozen - we have been very lucky up to now -this is the first time we've not been able to get on the green this winter - for me now it will be in the warmth of the craft room for the rest of the day I think!

This is beautifully feminine and Christmasy, Viv. It's a gorgeous image, love the layout and all those small envelopes, so perfect for a mail themed image!
Gorgeous card, lovely image and a stunning bow, so cute the envelopes.
I posted to USA yesterday and it cost me £1.20 I didn't think that was bad but it was a really flat card, I did expect more though.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

This is such a lovely detailed card Viv and you will be needing a mortgage to post this one abroad.. lol. I am feeling very jealous that you have nearly finished you cards as I have quite a few to make yet. x
