C4C26 Traditional Christmas Colors

Hello and welcome to another Crazy4Cocoa & Friends challenge! We've been seeing a lot of challenges using non-traditional colors lately, so let's go with the traditional red & green Christmas colors this week! I'm using Cocoa's Christmas Tree digital stamp for my card and I colored him with Copics. I edged the die cuts with a gold paint pen for interest and cut two borders in red and green using some Cheery Lynn dies I bought from SNSS. I'd give you a link, but I don't see them on the website, so they must be sold out for now. After I cut the green border, I took the tiny flowers and put them into the red border for a little contrast, and I like the way it turned out! All dp and cardstock is by SU, along with the quilted satin ribbon.
I can't wait to see your creations using traditional colors! Keep in mind that you can use any cute critter image from SNSS.......it doesn't have to be Cocoa! Ok, now it's your turn to break out the red and green and tag your creations with C4C26 when uploading to the galleries!
Thanks for stopping by and have a great Thursday!
