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.

    Love this little birdie, so cute. Carrying the same layout onto the inside of your card is a fantastic idea and really makes for a cohesive look.
