This just has to be for Laura. It's the same colour scheme as her bedroom and I must admit I do love the combination of hot pink and black. My designer paper was one of the freebies in a card magazine some time back and it led me into using this combination of colours on my card.
The stamp is by LOTV of course and oh my, are there any uncute LOTV stamps cause if there are I haven't seen them? The sentiment is from the same sheet of stamps and is a very useful one especially to use with this image. All the colouring was done using Promarkers and as you can see I've embossed the border using a Cuttlebug snowflake folder.
I used the sketch from this week's challenge at Sketch Saturday. I always love their sketches as they are very easy to work with.
When creating this card I also had the following challenges in mind...
- Crafty Ann's Challenge - A Christmas Card using non traditional colours
- Lil of the Valley - One for the Girls
- One Stop Craft Challenge - Embossing
- Crazy 4 Challenges - Square Cards
Thanks for looking and the super kind comments everyone leaves me - they do mean a lot. Have a great day everyone. Hope it's not as wet, wild and windy where you are as it is here. I seriously need to hibernate.

It's lovely to see you again Ann - no need for apologies, I know only too well how life gets in the way.
This is a stunner and my guess is that Laura is likely to refuse to take it down again after Christmas and who could blame her??? Thank you for coming along to celebrate with us - oh, and before I forget, I only got the one comment so don't worry. Mr Blogger must have been in one of his 'toying with us' moods.
