Day 6 of the 12 days of Christmas

Hello! If you've come from Nancy's Blog then you're hopping in the right direction! If not, head back over to Emma's Blog to start at the beginning. I can almost hear you saying, "um, Nikki??? a brown Christmas card???" hehehehehe I only have brown felt and wanted to use this sentiment from the Mixed Holiday Sentiments  sooooo I made a brown/kraft card ;)  I used the awesome burlap stamp from the Build a Banner Kit  to stamp my card base and the strip above the sentiment. I actually stamped the whole card front and it really looks cool! 
I used the heart die that comes in the 100% Sweetness set to cut out the felt. Works like a charm! Sorry the pictures make the browns look different, I swear they're the same in real life! ;)
