Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas - FFFC #154 'Happy Holidays'

Hello.  Happy Friday!

We're kicking off a new challenge at the Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge.  The lovely Theresa is our hostess for this challenge and the theme is 'Happy Holidays.'  We're being sponsored by My Besties and Sweet Lilac Flowers.  To get complete details on the challenge, the prize being offered and how you can join in the fun, visit the Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge blog.  Check out also the fabulous cards that my DT teammates have created to inspire you to play along with us.

Here's the card that I came up with.  I've used a Saturated Canary image.

As you can see, I've made this into a Christmas card although the original of this image I'm using is non-Christmas.
Here's a closer look of the featured image.

She is called Rose Red, designed by Krista Smith of Saturated Canary.   

Like I said before, this is not a Christmas stamp.  Part of the image was masked.  The original image includes a tree that has a bird nest on one of it's branches and a baby bird and eggs sitting in the nest, so it's more like a spring stamp.

She's also comes in rubberstamp form and is available from Magnolia-licious HERE.
