hAnglar and stAnglar - Christmas Love!

Dec. 11th - Update! My card came 2nd in the Sarah Hurley masking challenge Whoo-hoo! 
**********
Hi Peeps - I think it's safe to say that almost all of the UK is covered in white fluffy stuff today - looks fabulous doesn't it!
This is just a short post, to share a card before I settle in to my armchair to watch Strictly!
I am entering this into A Spoonful of Sugar - Anything Goes,
and Sarah Hurley - Masking.
I managed to find a gorgeous hAnglar and stAnglar Christmas stamp set on e-bay (with the help of a tip-off from a blogging friend - thanks Larissa)!!
The cute little girl has been "masked" onto the basket of cookies and hearts, which is also part of the set.
Recipe:
Image coloured with Copics and watercolour pencil.
Edges inked with Antique Linen and Weathered Wood Distress inks.
Pale creamy pink base card from SU.
Grey/green layer - Co'ordinations.
Red ribbon from stash.
Machine stitching around the layers.
Glitter - SU.
Christmas sentiment - Pink Petticoat.
Die Cut heart - Cuttlebug.
********
Thanks for looking - Keep warm - love to everyone who visits ......

A really gorgeous card Sylvia, all the little details just perfect.
No fluffy stuff down here though. We had a tiny sprinkle yesterday which didn't stay. It's absolutely freezing though (wind chill 0f -8!!!)
Hope you stay warm.
