I love Christmas time, pine trees, cardinals and presents.  Who doesn't like presents?  So today I am sharing a card I made using today's featured set along with one of my favorite mini sets, Greetings of the Season.  Once I had stamped the background on my card using Tim Holtz pine needles distress ink, I stamped the main images in memento tuxedo black with additional present images onto white card stock scraps before coloring everything with prismacolor markers.  After coloring my images, I layered the main image, added brads, then lightly stippled Tim Holtz  broken china distress ink then adding the cut out present images popping a couple up on dimensionals.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day and don't forget to stop by the rest of the design team blogs to leave some love for a chance to win today's featured set.
