The image is a Bugaboo stamp "Deacon candy cane" (I think) and I colored it with acuarelable pencils. to make the lights I used white acrylic paint with a liner brush and I think makes a good effect. I added some white glitter to the hat. I used some foami tape to tape it to the card.
I used two different green cardstock with the same embossing folder (one with hearts). The sentiment is a freebie from Crafting Cottage. I also used some red Christmas ribbon and made something I saw in other blogs which I liked it a lot but never tried before, I don´t know how it´s named but is like stitched or wrinkled ribbon. Between the two green papers I used a strip of white cardstock and made some faux stitches.

Your variations of green are perfect and that crimpled (not sure that's a real word) bow are wonderful. Beautiful backdrop to accentuate this AWESOME little elf on a candy cane! Nicely done. :) The cell picture actually turned out great.
