My card, today, uses the image Make It Snappy - Meowy Christmas, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. I used Santa printed washi tape diagonally across each corner of the card and added buttons to each corner. I receyvled the buttons from old clothing that's been thrown away. The buttons have been threaded with red, white and green baker's twine. I finished off the card with a red and gold metallic handmade ribbon bow. The sentiment is by Sentiments 4 You and is punched with circle and scalloped circle punches.

My Bingo:  Bugaboo Image, Choice (Buttons), Bow, for this card.

I mine is more of a deep red, rather than a raspberry, but its the closest I could find, in papers!

My card, today, uses the image Plush Reindeer - Ornament, from       Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers.  I used a sentiment from Sentiments 4 You, printed on cream cardstock and punched with oval and scalloped oval punches.  All of the papers, with the exception of the burlap look paper, are from Stampin Up.  I used Raspberry colored pearls to embellish. A clear glaze pen has been applied to the ornament on the image, to give the appearance of glass.
