Mimosa (not) waiting for Santa!

It's my day for posting on The Stamp Basket blog today, and I decided to use the sweet Bildmalarna stamp 'Mimosa - waiting for Santa', but not on a Christmas card this time - I thought she could work quite well for birthdays too...




Products available from The Stamp Basket
Craftwork Cards scalloped edge card blank
Bildmalarna 'mimosa - waiting for Santa' stamp
Seam binding in chalk white, dyed with 'tattered rose' distress ink
Dovecraft Adhesive Gems (on the sentiment tag)

I've coloured the image with promarkers and flexmarkers, the papers are First Edition with dark brown cardstock from Papermill Direct.  The sentiment is Stampin' Up, and everything else is from my stash.

I'm entering my card for the following challenges:

Apologies if I've not managed to catch up with your blogs yet - there just aren't enough hours between now and Christmas, and I'm ever so slightly stressed here lol!  Hope you're a bit more organised than I am, but I bet I'm not the only one still running around like a headless chicken :o)

Gorgeous card Lisa. Love that sweet image and the papers are beautiful. I love 1st Edition papers. I was lucky enough to get "Bird Song" in a secret Santa to add to the ones I already have!

I wouldn't worry about commenting, there's only so much you can do.

Relax and have a lovely Christmas.
