Another Christmas card

Here's another Christmas card to share with you that I made earlier this month. I was very proud of this card as I used my sewing machine for the stitching on it. I'm rather scared of my sewing machine....lol





I've been trying to remember where the stamp came from and I think it's Stampasaurs that I bought last year at a NEC craft show.

Happy Christmas
