Christmas Magic

This card uses one of the Flower Fairies stamps from Crafter's companion(Holly fairy).(I have had this set of stamps for a long time and never used them so this is it's first outing.) I have coloured the image using promarkers. I have also pierced around the edge of the image and on the corners fro some decorative detail.
The backing papers are from Dovecraft. I have used a Creative expressions stamp set(Ivy) and stamped some leaves and flowers. They have been embossed, coloured and then cut out for embellishments. I added some fabric trim down the side with little Holly leaves on. There are highlights of gold glitter on the wings and flowers.
Promarkers used:blush, dusky pink, satin, crimson, soft green, mint, and the blender pen.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:
