This year I'm making my own Christmas cards, so decided I also wanted to make special Christmas cards for my nieces and nephew. The Clearly Besotted Once Upon a Time stamp set has fun fairytale characters and sentiments. I thought the Red Riding Hood character would look great in a winter forest scene.
