I hope to be back later with a tickle-a-teapotter card, but when I saw Cindy's challenge was to use numbers on our cards, it was too good an opportunity to miss to use these stamps and make the last Christmas card I need for my June quota. (Hope I haven't miscounted and it truly IS my last one ;-)).
5 3/4" square white base, with black lines drawn with a Sakura glaze pen.
All images from Penny Black's 12 Days of Christmas - stamped on Bristol Board with Versafine Black, coloured with distress inks and layered up on red and green card. I added some Stickles to the turtle and the dove, Glossy Accents to the birds' beaks and feet and the calling bird's cell and handbag. The stone in the ring was done with a Sakura Stardust red pen.
I added buttons to fill in the spaces in the layout.

Fabulous Christmas card - I just ordered this set from Penny Black and after seeing your cute card, I'm really excited about a chance to use it. Love the sketch layout you used and the way you drew the lines around the border - they definitely don't look hand drawn - perfect final touch.
