Holiday Spirit with Fashionable Stamping

Hi all - blimey it's December and Christmas is just around the corner - I'm frantically trying to get some last minute cards made, and am sharing one of them for our new challenge over at FSC. The very talented Terry is encouraging us all to get into the 'Holiday Spirit' (this doesn't have to mean just Christmas!) and to give us a bit more time during such a  busy period we're running for four weeks instead of two !
My card has a background created by adding paint over a clear embossed stamped image. The main stamped image is from Le Blanche and the patterned paper I've used to die cut the banner is from Craft Individuals.  
The sentiment is a Stamp Addicts stamp, embossed with Diamond Sparkle EP, arranged with more die cuts and of some milled lavender distress stickles. The rest of the FSC team have, as always, made some beautiful projects for inspiration, so do pay them a visit. It would be great to have you join our challenge - don't forget we MUST see some stamping, not justDigis, and the winner will be chosen at random and receive a voucher to spend over at FlonzCraft.

I'm also sharing this here - 

Thanks for stopping by - Happy Crafting...Esther xx
