Little Sweetie

Well, the vacation is now over and I am back home to recuperate....literally!  I really hope you like my card for this week at The Character Cafe.   Using the image Mary, from their October release, I've made a non-traditional little Christmas card for this week's new challenge, and hopefully you will also have some fun making your own creations with the following recipe:
Orange
die cut
ribbon
3 circles
AND......be sure to check out the wonderful creations from the rest of the DT team for some more great inspiration!
The image has been cut out with my Nestie, while the circle behind it uses a die that I tried out at my daughter's house.  The paper doily has been sponged with orange distress ink, which is also used around the image and also around the card.  Blue distress ink has been used on the two die cut circles.  Note all the stickles....on the star, around the image and around the die cut circle....just what is needed for a little girl's Christmas card. 

Also entered into the following challenges, so be sure to follow the links for more inspiration and ideas.
