The card is embossed mirri card from Kanban and i have used some embossed worded vellum from my stash. I have added a wooden star (which is a mini tree decoration) then stuck a gold star which is From Wild Orchid Crafts as are the gorgeous white poppies and the lilac crysantheum and the ribbon is from Papermania.

On this shot you can see that i have added some little lilac beads onto some glue glitter and i have stickled the fur and stars to make it sparkle.
