Barry's Christmas Wishes

StampFairy are sponsoring Digital Tuesday today, and so I've made a card to support the challenge.  The theme is to create a shaped card, something I love doing, and I've used one of the new Stampfairy Barry Winter 3 images.

I've shaped my card base with a Grand Nestie Labels 1 die, leaving just a smudge of of the fold  outside the die.  I've also used what feels like most of a pot of stickles outlining my layers, as well as a sprinkling of glamour dust on the image too.

As if that wasn't enough, for a bit of extra sparkle, I've used my Sakura stardust gel pen to draw some faux stitching on the sentiment.

Instead of fixing the ribbon underneath the panel, I've only tucked it under on one side, and looped it back underneath the image pane on the other side.  I thought it would make a change from a bow as this seemed like quite a masculine image, but it still gave it a bit of dimention.
