And a new card to share :)
I recently won this Little Shepherd Boy stamp on the Lili Of The Valley - Ideas to Inspire 12 days of Christmas Candy. I was thrilled to get this as its been one of my favourite images for a long time.
I followed the sketch by Dena on the Lili of the Valley challenge blog and I flipped it to the side.
I coloured using pro-markers, and used HOTP papers, snowflake brads, glitter, stickles, germs and pearls on the stars.. I made the mat for the image by cutting two panels from a Marianne Die and merged them and trimmed off the excess. I thought it worked quite well :)
I am entering this card in the below competitions:

Hi there
I am thrilled you have joined in my "Free and Easy" theme at Allsorts this fortnight and confess to being astounded by the huge response .
I usually like to visit every entry and say a few words about their creations, but the sheer volume so far along with the Christmas preparations we all have to juggle means this is a "copied and pasted" message, for which I apologise.
Wishing you a very Happy Christmas and wonderful holiday time

Love the frame you made & the way you've hung those snowflakes. I was so thrilled when I saw you'd won this but you made a post before I managed to email you. Then yesterday a box arrived for me - such a suprise & I had to think of you when I saw one of the stamps inside - this very one. Think my few LOTV stamps will have to have a box of their own now.

Hi Alison, thank you for popping by my blog and your lovely comments :) I am so enjoying these LOTV stamps and that frame you have done is just gorgeous. I have got some Marianne dies coming for Christmas, infact they are under the tree wrapped up but my other half wont let me have them yet hehe.
Have a fab Christmas and New Year and hope the snow doesn't cause you to much disruption, we have had some terrible snow in Birmingham that is still causing chaos on the roads to the point where I have booked the rest of this week off work!
Look forward to seeing more of your creative card making in the new year :) xx
