Papertake Weekly Challenge ~ Cool Yule!

This weeks challenge is to make a Christmas card. [Sighs]....it's July and the sun is shining its hot outside, and you want me to make a Christmas card.... are you mad!!? I suppose that doing some now will save the mad rush later!
So, I made this pop-up card using a tutorial I found on Dawn's blog, it's really easy to follow and good fun to make. I shall be making more of these, I've already sorted out images and CS to make another 5 of this design. CS ~ Crafts Central, image~ coloured with watercolour pencils, peel-offs ~ stash, jingle bell ~ Poundland and sentiment ~ computer generated, fluffy stuff used on hats. I'm really, really pleased with how this one turned out and at how quick and easy it was to make, whilst looking really difficult to make!
