I tried to keep this one clean and simple so the red had an impact. I've used red card stock and some snowflake embossed card to make this one up. So no design papers on this one which is so not like me!
The stamp is James - Christmas Cracker. Coloured with ProMarkers, I used the blending pen to fade out James's fur and the cracker towards the left as though the light is shining on him.
The red ribbon is from Lili of the Valley. I hand tied a bow then wrapped and tied some red/white twine with a Christmas boot charm from Marianne Designs and attached it to the ribbon.
Final touches to this card (and having to restrain myself from adding loads of embellishments) are some red self adhesive gems and a sentiment from a Hobby Craft.
Had a hectic day so just chillin with a glass of wine while I blog this and unwind :)
