Deck the Halls

I really do love simple stuff.
Here we have a fab Penny Black wreath stamp embossed in gold on red cardstock. The sentiment is also from Penny Black and has been treated in a similar manner. The main image has also been dry embossed with a random dots folder and the edge of the sentiment panel punched with my Fiskars Upper Crest border punch.
I thought that a cream card blank complemented the colours in preference to white and so with that the card was completed.
Yesterday we received a snippet of video of our granddaughter decorating their Christmas tree, she was really intent on doing it and a small section of the tree was adorned beautifully! I reckon she did really well for a two year old.!
