Whoopsi Daisy challenge - Christmas in July

The challenge at Whoopsi Daisy this week is Christmas in July
http://cutedaisymay.blogspot.com.au/

I have printed one of the pre coloured images from Whoopsi Daisy sheet No 544 onto white card.  Stamped Happy Christmas.  Punched holes down each side with Sew Ribbon tool and threaded ribbon through.  This is only the second time I have used this tool and still find it hard to use with my sore hands.  Hopefully I will get better at it.  Added pink ribbon across top and Reindeer ribbon across the bottom.  Layered all onto pink card.

I hope you will go over to Whoopsi Daisy and see the lovely cards by the design team and join in the challenge.  You don't have to use a Whoopsi Daisy stamp but if you do and you are the winner you will receive 2 sheets of Whoopsi Daisy Images.  If you don't use a Whoopsi Daisy stamp and you are the winner you will receive one sheet of Whoopsi Daisy images.

You can buy the lovely Whoopsi Daisy images at http://linnie-whoopsiedaisy.blogspot.com.au/
Linnie is adding new images all the time and there is a free image there.
