Parcel

Festive Snooze

   I was pleased to be asked to be a guest designer at Digi Stamps 4 Joy and this is the digi I chose to use as the theme of the challenge had a twist of holidays.

This was then matted and layered onto two shades of lavender card and white card. The sentiment was cut using a Tattered Lace contemplation peace die and trimmed.
