'The holly bears a berry ...' (Sans Day Carol) is a beautiful Christmas carol that isn't sung very often. For this card I've used offcuts of the stitched paper with stars (originally wrapping paper), some Papermania red and white paper and a small piece of card rescued from a cracker two or three years ago (not much of this left now). The holy was upcycled from a card received. Spotty grosgrain ribbon from stash.
This is for:
