House Mouse Christmas card

Hi folks! A simple card from me today. I went for traditional Christmas colours of Red, Gold and Green (Hmmm... I feel a song coming on...) The stamp used is from Joanna Sheen's unmounted House Mouse collection, 'opening presents'.
I stamped the message on green card using a versamark pad and embossed it covering with clear embossing powder. I dry embossed a pattern onto a rectangle of red cardstock using my Cuttlebug and wrapped some gold ribbon around it. I added a bow and some holly leaves cut using QK dies. The holly berries are flat back plastic beads. I stamped, watercoloured and cut out the image and adhered to the card using dimensional glue gel.
Ciao for now!
