Merry Christmas Friend

I am in Christmas card making mode and finally getting a chance to post this card. I have a few horsey friends on my card giving list so I try to make a few each year. I love the Whimsy Stamps horse drawn by Crissy Armstrong and for this card I have chosen to use Christmas Pony. I used the rubber stamp which I think may be retired but it is available as a digital stamp. 

This is one of the first stamps I bought and I hope it brings one of my horsey friends a smile and some Christmas cheer. 

After stamping with Memento Tuxedo Black on alcohol marker friendly paper I coloured them Copic markers and hand fussy cut them. I found some paper from MME and Carta Bella and created my scene with some die cut snow banks and trees. I added some white glitter snowflakes cut with a punch from white glitter paper in my stash. Next I cut out a pleated circle background and added matching card stock behind it and matching patterned paper and snow flakes to the top of it. 

To create the sentiment, I used three different sentiments, one of them I had to mask off and hope I got things straight and the placement right.

I glued down the stamp, added some ribbon and finished it off with some enamel dots and Star Dust Stickles on the pony's hat.
