CHNC challenge 500

This is my design card for my CHNC challenge 500 -  please click on the link to find out what it's all about and I hope you'll be able to join in with your Christmas designs - anything goes as long as it's Christmas with the optional theme of  'use some twine or ribbon'.

I used some backing paper from my Christmas box, with red and gold twine around it a few times, mounted on to a red card blank with a sentiment and the lovely felt Santa that I bought quite some time ago.

hidden pocket in the top of Santa's hat (with a wooden and hessian heart inserted):
