Holly and Hedgie

Is it just me but are the sketches lately gettin harder, this one is Friday Sketchers and it was only when I decided to do a C6 (I think thats what they called) did everything fall into place and was one of the quickest cards I've made recently.
And for an added bonus it fits through the small letter post what a result.
Of course the little chap is a Penny Black, the papers Imaginesce and I've made one of those fiddy flat bows.
The holly is sizzilit die and it actually has a right side up which is a pain when you've used silicone glue which goes everywhere when you try to turn the holly you've glued upside down and you prompty push you glasses up your nose to discover you can't see for huge blob of silicone smeared over the lens of your brand new glasses and all you can see is the pound signs of new ones if that mess dries.
Lucky for me I managed to get it off with no damage gosh that could've affected my craft spending for the next few months.
