Always Playing with Paper Merry Monday Christmas challenge No 56

I just finished my card in time for this weeks challenge as it finishes in 12 hours time.

This was the sketch to follow to make a Christmas card

And this is the card I made this afternoon.
I embossed green card with Cuttlebug "Holly with Berries" and added ribbon from my stash and washi tape. Printed Heather Valentin's digi stamp "Holly Victorian Christmas" from Lacey Sunshine stamps the official and only authorised shop to sell Heather Valentin stamps.  Coloured the stamp with Copic marker (face), Distress Markers and Tria Markers.  Cut out and attached to green card and added Merry Christmas sticker.  You can't see properly in the scan but the berries on the embossing have been coloured red with a sparkly gel pen.  
I have wanted to join this challenge for a few weeks but until now always just missed the deadline.  It will be good to get some Christmas cards made during the year instead of having to rush at the last minute.

I have just found another Christmas card challenge so I would like to enter this card into
