Christmas All Year Round - January Challenge

This post has been sat ready and waiting since 9 January but didn't want to publish it until later in the month! I managed one of two of the CCAYR challenges in December but decided that I would do my very best to join in the monthly challenges - a brief is given and 5 cards have to be made for that month. The idea is, that by December I will have made 60 cards. So its either keep all my Christmas bits n bobs handy or panic in November as I've not got enough cards made!

Anyway, the Christmas All Year 'Round January challenge is:

Create a card with VERY traditional red and green colors and a stamped OR a rub-on sentiment!

So here they are!

• Backing paper: Dovecraft Ho Ho Ho papers with doodled edges
• Embellishment: Cracker (was actually a gift tag) with green wired snowflakes and red raffia
• Sentiment: Studio G outline acrylic stamp which I have coloured with black ink
