This drove me nuts! (or best of a bad job:-)

Oh my I wanted this cart so much but this, my first cut, was such a pain! I've enough candles cut to fill a shop with my tryouts! I have to keep my Christmas cards to 6"x6" to save on postage so this is the largest I can work with, fiddly isn't the word, so I've done my own thing with it and left off some tiny cuts. I've embossed the white background and added a bit of sparkle with gold ribbon below the holly. The backing papers are Back to Basics Christmas by Dovecraft. The sentiment is stamped and it's finished off with leaves which I've lightly gilded to match the ribbon. This card almost hit the bin a few times but I think maybe it was worth working on it as I so hate to fail.
