25-xmas card

Good evening everybody and hope you've all had as good day. Well the Great Yorkshire show has been cancelled for this year due to all the rain we've been having. It's a big show up here and people travel for miles to come to it.
Another of the xmas cards for me today. If I do a couple at a time it's easier when the time comes.
This is another stamp set I have managed to get cheaper and love it. I stamped the image onto a distressed background(Fired Brick, Peeled Paint and Wild Honey) The backing papers are alll from my stash out of my xmas box. I have added a die cut holly corner to the image and stamped and embossed the number plate.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:
Sunday Sketch and Stamp#114 -Sjoukje's sketch(Turned on it's side)
Crafty Catz weekly challenge140 -spots(on backing paper)
Crafty Creations challenge #178- free for all
Make It Monday challenge#97 -with bugaboo stamps
Thanks so much for stopping by and visiting me today.
bye for now
x Catherine
