A Christmas Card Sneak Peek and PPA Surprise

Hello All,
I will start with the PPA surprise. When I got up this morning, I checked my email - as is my routine - and to my delight I had an email from the team at Pals Paper Arts! I was chosen as one of the picks of the week! Yahoo! I so admire their work, it is a real honour to be chosen by them. That is why I get the cool badge in my sidebar! Now on to my card.

I cased this card by the very talented SleepyinSeattle. I had a lot of fun with it. The stamp is larger than an A2 card front, so I trimmed it down a bit. It was very simple, but I think really effective. The sponging around the edge is done with So Saffron and Pumpkin Pie classic inks. TFL.
