Make My Monday

This weeks challenge over at MMM, still in festive mood, is to use red ribbon. The DT cards are fabulous and worth checking out.
I have used a pale green pearl card and scored a fold 1" in to create a spine. I stamped with the pine cones from SU pines and poinsettias with soft suede ink and only re inked on the 3rd stamping. I  matted the oval topper onto some embossed BP from my stash and pleated some red organza ribbon around the back. I added a bow as well. I punched 4 holes in the spine and threaded through some more red ribbon. The pine cone on the topper is glittered as are some of the berries around the card.
