Sleigh Card

 This design was shared with me by a friend, Joan Speece, at one of my "Use-It-Up" Card Classes.  Here is my spin on her card:

The note paper came from a sheet of music that a friend gave to me.  I just copied it onto cardstock, cut out the dimensions needed, and layered it onto my card.  I then stamped my images in New England Ivy Ink  and assembled the card as shown.  It needed just a little bit of bling...so I added some glue and glitter to the top of the sleigh.

Thanks for stopping by.
