Stapler

First, I stamped my image using Momento Tuxedo Black ink. Then, I colored in my image in using Spectrum Noir Markers.

I used the following colors...

Eyes: GT2 &GT3

Hair: GB7, GB9, EB4, & TN9

Skin: FS5, FS7, & FS9

Har & Clothes: CR9, DR4, DR6, & DR7

Green Box & Polka Dots: CG3 & CG4

Pink Ribbon: CR6 & PP4

Boots: IG4 & IG6

I also highlighted different areas using a white gel pen.

Then I trimmed my image using my Spellbinders Pierced Rectangles dies.

I cut a tag shaped backer using my MFT tag die.

I used my Xyron 3" Sticker Maker to adhere my image onto my tag. Then, Stapled an assortment of coordinating ribbon onto the top of the tag.

 I used my double fishtail die from my Stitched Greetings die set to cut white cardstock.

 I used my Xyron Mega Runner to adhere and mat onto green cardstock and cut out a border around it by hand. Then I repeated those steps to make another mat of red cardstock.

I used Tuxedo Black ink to stamp the word "Joy to the center. Then I used Brilliance Pearlescent Orchid Ink to stamp a snowflake on both sides of my word.  

I used Diamond Glaze to glue my little banner onto my ribbon.

I embossed a 3.75"x5" piece of bright green cardstock with Sizzix's Starry Night embossing folder. 

I mounted my tag onto it and attached my ribboned tag to the bottom of my tag. I wrapped the ends of the ribbon around the back and fasten with more adhesive.

 I used my Mega Runner to attach this panel onto a 4"x5.25" of white cardstock. 

Then, attached everything onto an A2 (4.25"x 5.5") sized card base.

For the finishing touch, I added glittered enamel dots to my background.

And, here is my finished card...
