Make it Merry - A Hampton Art Card

This card was originally saved to publish on this date in 2014, but I didn't notice until February of 2015, that I had set the year to 2015. So I'm publishing it now - LOL!

Today's card features the Holly Berry Borscht 6x6 patterned paper by Jillibean Soup and the tree die from a Hot Fudge Studio clear stamp set, both by Hampton Art!
