Jiggy has been coloured with Promakers, his wings have been given the stickles treatment and he's had a Glossy Accents manicure. I've cut him and the frame out and then filled the aperture with coloured card. The holly wreath was one of those jobs I started and regretted! I couldn't find my holly leaf punch and as result ended up cutting out hundreds (well a slight exaggeration, but it certainly felt like hundreds) of leaves. They've then been curled slightly and glued onto the frame and given a coating of distress stickles. I've then dotted red glitter glue around the wreath and added some candy canes and ribbons.
The base card and DP's have been distressed and the edges inked as have the sentiments. To finish the card off I've added some faux stitching and some card candy.
