Christmas at Easter!

Happy Easter everyone!  Wishing you all peaceful blessings on this, the most important celebration in the Christian calendar.
I haven't got an Easter card to share with you today but I do have a Christmas one!
This lovely digi image is one of Ruth's from A Passion For Stamps and is a joy to colour.  I've coloured it with Promarkers and then gone to town accenting it with Pinflair Ice Diamond on the birdhouse, red tinsel glitter on the post and a touch of Anita's 3D Gloss on the berries and robin's eye.
It was then just a case of layering up in various white cardstock and creating a couple of tag shapes.  The large tag has been stamped with a Papermania stamp and I've added an eyelet and a tassel made from crochet cotton to the small one. I then went round the edges of some of the layers with Diamond Stickles for a bit of sparkle.
Some ribbon, a bow and a few iridescent gems are the finishing flourishes.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges -
Crafty Hazelnut - #67 - white Christmas
Crafty Ann's - #62 - Christmas
Christmas Challenges - #23 - sketch and white on white
