Fun with new Christmas Sizzix dies

This card is for the The Crafty Pad Challenge 44 using red, green and gold. Another good excuse to get on with the C cards.

It also happens to fit in too with Penny's Wednesday Challenge which I am entering for the first time. However I have visited before via the Crafty Pad.

I have used a holly sizzix cut out from my new decorative strip which I bought on Saturday from Colemans. I cut it out twice and highlighted the bottom of the leaves in dark green pen and in the middle with stardust pen to try and add some definition - that is about as arty as I get.

The Father Christmas is from a Kanban sheet I bought at the Grafton Crafts demo day. I added plenty of glitter to jazz it up a bit!
