CES Challenge - Easel Christmas Card

This week's challenge over at Crafty Emma's Store Challenge is to make an Easel Christmas card. I've used my Cricut to cut out the hexagon and then used it as a template to make the easel card.
The paper is called Love Potion by Pink Paislee and the cute little image is Milton with Stocking by Wild Rose Studios.
I've over stamped the paler side of the paper with a flourish stamp using Coffee Bean by Brilliance and then inked the edges with Brushed Corduroy distress ink. I've used a Sizzix die "brackets" by Tim Holtz and added some red Dew Drops.

The Sweet Pea Stampers challenge has now moved to Friday every fortnight.
The theme this time is a wonderful sketch by Pascale.
I've used the Sweet Pea stamp Purple Woods, which has been coloured with Copic markers. The papers are all from the Papermania Capsule collection as are the flowers. The sentiment is from Fiskars 8x8 clear stamps.

The sentiment is a free stamp from this months Craft Stamper magazine which I've combined with a rosette cut out on the Cricut using the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge.
