Today's card features stamps from a set that I picked up from Simon Says Stamp with a prize I won recently on one of their challenges...called 'Gift Exchange' by Anita Jeram for the Colorado Craft Company. I stamped the images on to watercolour paper, added one of the sentiments from the set, then coloured them using watercolour pencils. I used a piece of patterned paper from the 'Christmas Multistack' by DCWV for the background...distressing the edges, then added some faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a black gel pen.

Helen, what a super cute Christmas card! Great job coloring the image, and that faux stitching really adds a lot to your card! I have some of those DCWV Christmas pattern paper, and much of it is so "busy" I haven't figured out to do with it... but your card gives me all kinds of inspiration!! Thank you for sharing your creativity and fun card with us at The Male Room!!! -Donna
