Happy Holidays

I made this card for the AAA Cards 'Sketch' challenge using some small parcels I had stitched onto perforated paper.

To make this card I used:
     5.5" x 4.25" white matt card blank
     Catkin and Lillie 'Mini Presents' cross stitch pattern
     My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-namics' die
     Clearly Besotted 'Cheerful Christmas' stamps
     Versafine Onyx Black ink
     Oddments of DMC threads
     Snippet of white matt card and perforated paper

I stitched the three small parcels onto snippets of perforated paper and fussy cut around the edges before setting them aside.  I die cut a stitched rectangle from a snippet of white card and placed it into my MISTI.  I laid the parcels onto the panel to see where to position the sentiment stamp.  I removed the parcels and stamped the sentiment with black ink.  The panel was then attached to the front of the card blank with the parcels attached above the sentiment.

I am entering the following challenges:
     AAA Cards - Sketch Challenge
     Allsorts - Christmas
     Daisy Chain Challenge - Christmas and/or Winter
     Merry Little Christmas Challenge - Anything Christmas Goes
