I'm trying to get some Christmas cards done as I really am behind this year.
This card was pretty quick to make so I made several while I was at it using a Tim Holtz mixed media background die and a die from his Holiday Greens die set.
With a piece of red card for matting and some ribbon, all that I needed to finish was a peel off sentiment and a few gems for some sparkle.
I would like to join in with the Rudolph Day Challenge - October at Mo's Scraps of Life by Scrappy Mo blog.
I'm also joining in at The Christmas Card Challenge #46

Great lay-out! I love the graphic design and the minimum colourscheme! Enjoy your week!
What a great card - that poinsettia die looks useful and just right for making fairly quick cards which we need this time of year.
Well you've taught me something Barb, I had no idea Tim had such dies in his stash of crafty goodies, lovely dies and do love red with with touch of green, real classic beauty.

This is just stunning, and love the negative spaces filled with this brilliant color. Adding the pine sprig added such a deep rich shade to the red & white, and thanks for reminding me about Rudy Day. With all that's gone on, I had totally forgotten until I read your Post! Good for you at having such a stunner ready for your stash! TFS & Hugs
