Edward Scissorhands Christmas Card

So  what card do you give a teenager that manages to show a total dis-interest in any traditional Christmas images? Edward Scissorhands of course!!! This is the card I made for DD this year and it was exceptionally well received (thank the lord!!) which means that I've actually managed to do something right for a change!!! Hooray!!! LOL


Materials
Image - Simply Betty
Snowflake Dies - Marianne Creatables
Promarkers
Glossy Accents
Sentiment - Computer generated font which has had a swirly line added to it by hand
