Bah Humbug challenge...

This weeks Bah Humbug challenge is 'Oldie but Goldie'...
The stamp I have used this week is dated 2002 and has been used many times in the past as I think its quite a versatile stamp for either Christmas and it also makes a great a mans card.  Serendipity Stamps still have this stamp on their website and its just called 'Buck'.
Having brayered the background using Big and Juicy Waterfall stamp pad I then stamped the image using Black Archival ink Pad. The birds are again and old stamp but dont know who its made by. Added a little bit of 'Aileens Glitter snow' on the image.  Although you cant see much of it I've also used a Mistloe embossing folder that was in my 'Christmas prize box from B.H) its lovely because it's 5 x 7.  Added the M.S. picket fence across the back.
