Here is my card:
My card base and mats are GKD Cranberry Tart. The patterned papers are from the Memory Box Mistletoe 6x6 pad. My sweet Mo's image is Christmas Fairy Holly. You can find her in Mo's store here. I printed her on Fabriano Aquarello Extra White and colored her with Distress Inks for a soft look (Skin: Antique Linen, Tattered Rose; Hair: Scattered Straw, Vintage Photo; Holly: Bundled Sage; Dress and Shoes: Aged Mahogany, Tumbled Glass; Bells and Snowglobe: Gathered Twigs, Scattered Straw, Tumbled Glass). I added Gold Stickles to the Bells, Red Stickles to the berries and lots of Star Dust Stickles to the bottom of her dress and the snowglobe. I finished the image with a coat of Glossy Accents on the snowglobe, over the Stickles. The sentiment is from Create With TLC. It is part of the Enjoy The Snow set in Paulette's store here. Some ruffled seam binding, a button and a bit of Baker's Twine finished my card.
Here is a close up of the image:
