ABC Christmas Challenge - O is for...

This week it's Dorte's turn to host the ABC Christmas Challenge, where the theme is:

'O is for Open It Up'
Also decorate the inside of your card

We have two amazing sponsors for this challenge:


 The fabulous Bugaboo Stamps prize is:

and

The Ribbon Girls

The awesome prize from the Ribbon Girls is:

I've used an adorable Bugaboo Stamps image on my card...called 'Winter Birds - Scarf' - doesn't he look toasty wrapped up in his woolies!? I coloured him using watercolour pencils, adding some sparkle to the snow using a Sakura Stardust pen. For the background, I embossed some Core'dinations card using my Cuttlebug 'Swiss Dots' and 'Snowflakes' folders, and Sizzix/BasicGrey 'Snowglobe' folder.


I decorated the inside using the same layout...replacing the image with a Lili of the Valley sentiment, leaving space to write my own greeting:


I'm also entering this card into the following challenges: 
For more inspiration from my lovely DT buddies, and some wonderful guest designers, please pop over to the ABC Christmas Challenge.
