Miss Daisy Stamps - Christmas Candle

Today I'm sharing a Christmas card made with a digi stamp from Miss Daisy Stamps - it's a beautiful, traditional image and comes with a very pretty matching sentiment.

You can find the digi stamp here on the Miss Daisy Stamps website.

I coloured the image and sentiment with Promarkers and then die cut both using Memory Box stitched circle dies.  The candle image was then matted on to red paper die cut with a Spellbinders scalloped circle die.

The tartan paper is from a Lili of the Valley pad and I added some Card Candi to finish the card.
