Cheers



   Friday here again and so there is a new challenge at QKR Stampede, the theme being as usual anything goes.
   I matted paper printed using a House Mouse CD ROM onto red card and attached a ribbon to the lower right hand corner. I then matted this onto green card to create two vertical borders and finally onto white card.
   The digi called Christmas cheer was coloured using Promarkers with the addition of a little loose glitter to the snowman. I cut him out using a circular die and then cut a segment away before matting it onto a green circle. Finally I added some washi tape.
