A Letter to Santa

An easel card today, made with goodies from Papermania's Letter to Santa range, that I picked up half price in Hobby Craft recently.  I bought the papers, ribbons, and this lovely stamp, my Mum bought the sentiment pack, and kindly gave me a couple of tags from it to use on this card.
 I coloured the stamped image with Promarkers, adding a border of gold glitter, and using the same glitter on the baubles on the tree.  I used Star Dust Stickles for the fairy light on the tree.
The baubles were die cut with a Spellbinders die from gold glitter card, and topped with baker's twine bows.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges -
Love to Create - #30 - Mad About Plaid - I used tartan ribbon
Ooh La La - #163 - Fancy Folds
The Glory of Christmas - #40 - Letter to Santa
52 Christmas Card Thowdown - Glitter and Bling
Christmas Stampin' All Year Long - #23 - Anything Goes
Moving Along with the Times - Feeling a Little Vintage
Milk Coffee - Add Stripes
Hobbybook - 2 or More Patterned Papers
Loves Rubber Stamps - #118 - 2 or More Patterned Papers
Sweet Sketch 2 - #25 - Sketch
