You should have reached me from Martine's blog, if not you might want to pop back to make sure you visit every designer's blog! Onto my card. I have used the gorgeous Basic Grey Wassail paper pad and distressed the edges with Tim Holtz' distressing tool and stickled them. I have used the sketch at Truly Scrumptious Challenge who also have the added option of knots, hence the knotted ribbon! I have used one of Whiff of Joy's adorable gnomes by Norma Fickel, Uru with Candy Cane, coloured with copics. You have the chance of winning Uru, courtesy of Simon Says Stamp by commenting in the blog hop!

The holly leaves are from a Sizzix die and the berry gems were kicking around in my stash, haven't a clue where I got them from LOL!

The sentiment is from Whiff of Joy's new Christmas collection and I've stamped it with bundled sage distress ink.

Hope you like it and thanks for looking! My clue for the code is R. Now hop over to Marcea's blog to continue on the blog hop! x
