Happy Little Stampers May Christmas Challenge - 'Gift'

The current Christmas challenge over at Happy Little Stampers is 'Gift' - a lovely theme, although I really had to do some serious searching through my stamps for a Christmas image with a gift/gifts on. This is the result:
I used:

 - 4.25" x 6" white card blank

- pale blue backing card behind the image and the patterned paper layer

 - patterned card panel from LOTV's 'Twas the Night' paper pad with a couple of strips of a striped pattern from the same pad just wrapped across opposite corners to break the card up a bit

 - the image was stamped using Memento 'Tuxedo Black' ink and a Stampendous stamp called 'Snow Angels', then coloured using a mixture of Faber Castell Polychromos pencils and a Whisper marker to strengthen the red of her coat

- tickles of clear Wink of Stella on the wings and hat trimmings

- then it was die cut using a Lil' Inkers 'Stitched Rectangles' die and layered onto a little piece of pale blue card 

I'd also like to enter this into Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge 280 (under the 'Anything Goes' option) as well as Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra for May (always 'Anything Goes').

    This is so cute. I love the pattern paper and she is so cute offering her gift. Your design of the corners is so unique and pretty.

    Saw this at HLS Christmas challenge, and had to pop over to say how darling it is. At first thought the background dp was embossed..so pretty. Like the corner 'ribbon wraps' and the image is just cute as can be with this little sweetie carrying her gifts. Love it! TFS & Thanks for joining in the HLS May Christmas Challenge.Hugs
