Fabulous stamp and colouring, lovely design. Hard to make Christmas cards when the sun is shining (and there's tennis to watch!) but it does make life a whole lot easier when December arrives.

Your use of the Choc Baroque "Hark The Christmas Rose" stamp, colored with Promarkers and distressed with ink, creates a beautifully textured and detailed centerpiece. The vintage K&Company paper from the QVC era adds a nostalgic charm to your design, making it a perfect blend of classic and contemporary Christmas elements.
