Hoot and Mistletoe Christmas

I made this tonight for a couple of challenges. The first being the Sketches In Thyme - Tuesday Takes # 3 (see sketch below) as I just can not go past a sketch....which I have probably told you many times before today! I also incorporated The Cupcake Inspirations Challenge # 88 (see image of cupcake below). When choosing my image I decided on a Digistamp Boutique which makes this card also eligible for entry into their December Challenge. And I have entered it into the Bizzy Bec's December Challenge as the theme was Christmas!

I made this card for two challenges (giving 5 a miss for a while)
