Kids at Christmas

Hello!
Today I want to show you another Christmas card I made... in the next few days I hope to do more, as I still need to send a few and give here too...

I used a Dearie Doll freebie and colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils. I used Sizzix circle die cut  , and used the same shape for the dark red cardstock mat.

I used Muresco papers, this is red plaid and I cut from both sides of the paper, if you look with attention you can see they are a little bit different. For the background I used white cardstock and a Quick Kuts embossing folder (Vines).

As embellishments, I used a Christmas ribbon from my stash and made a bow and three red gems for the left upper corner to complete the sketch.

I would like to participate in the following challenges:
