Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas challenge 618 - Make your own background

 Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas challenge 618 - anything Christmas with optional theme Make Your Own Background
http://craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge.blogspot.com/


I coloured background with watercolour pencils and water - used Lavinia Acetate Hill masks to draw hills.  Painted stars through Fairy Hugs stencil Galazy.
Stamped grass and Christmas sentiment.
Stamped Lavinia stamp LAV040 Mary onto another piece of paper, coloured background with chalks,  cut out with circle punch and layered onto green card and then onto the background.

I would like to add my card to the following:
