CHNC challenge 484

This is my design card for my CHNC challenge 484 - 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 'something funny'.

For my card I used papers from a Traditional Christmas pack by Wild Rose Studio. The fun image with sentiment is a favourite one from Bugaboo Stamps, called 'Crabby Cathy be naughty', coloured digitally and printed, cut out and mounted. The gold foiled Santa circle is from an old Kanban kit and the lovely glittered holly tape and little stockings were from The Works.
