JOY - Sweet Stamping Pixies November Challenge

Hello.

It's the 2nd Monday of the month, so it's time for a new challenge at Swiss Stamping Pixies.  The theme for our November challenge is:  monochrome.

Here's my DT card...and yes, it's another advent calendar card.  I have a few more to make of this, so I hope you won't get tired of seeing them.

I hope you will join us in our challenge.  To get more details on the challenge, the prize and how to join in, please  hop over to Swiss Stamping Pixies challenge blog and also have a look at the fabulous cards that my DT teammates have created to inspire you.

A couple pictures of the card here from different angles.

**Edited--If you're interested in making a similar card, HERE is the template with the measurements that I used. 

This adorable Magnolia image I am featuring is of Tilda With A Cute Lamb.

This Tilda is from the Little Christmas Collection 2012.  A very popular collection that a lot of the images are currently out of stock at Magnolia-licious, Diana's on-line store, where I get my wonderful Magnolia images.  If you would like to purchase this Tilda, contact Diana and let her know.  There is a vast selection other Magnolia images, both full-size and minis--check them out HERE.  

Have a look also at the selection of the wonderful cutting dies from Memory Box, PoppyStamps, Magnolia, Marianne Design and Cheery Lynn Designs. Those exquisite swirls on my card ar from a Memory Box Whimsical Flourish die.  Diana also gives fast excellent services and discounted prices and you get to earn in-store credit with each purchase--how sweet is that!
