Here is my card:
I decided to get back to the Christmas twist this month. My card base and mats are SU Riding Hood Red and the patterned papers are from the Basic Grey Aspen Frost 6x6 pad. The fun image is Peppermint from MayzyArt. I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics. I added some Red Stickles to the ornaments on her shoes and necklace and Glossy Accents to the holly berries in her hair. The sentiment was a freebie on Whimsy Stamps Facebook page last October. Some Ice White Pearl Pen accents, two sparkly holly stickers and an olive satin bow finished my card.
Here is a close-up of the image:
