I followed a sketch from A Spoon Full of Sugar challenge. I haven't added a Christmas-sy sentiment yet as I didn't have one small enough (i'll add one along the ribbon later).
This is a Magnolia stamp that I got from the NEC earlier this year and it's the first time it's been inked up...ahh, poor stamp(!)
The papers were a free download from the Crafts Beautiful Christmas Party (last year I think), the ribbon is Anitas, I used a Dovecraft snowflake punch, stickles and I used clear embossing powder on the Magnolia stamped image to give it a crisper outline. To colour the image I used a mixture of Cosmic Shimmer watercolours, Marvy Le Plume, Whispers and Dovecraft Double Brush markers with a water brush.
I'd really like to invest in some professional markers but just don't know which ones to choose... I think I might buy a few copics to see how I get on with them but then which ones do I get...? Sketch or Ciao? I'm not really sure what the difference is between them. Advice anyone? :-)

Great card Sarah! Doesn't it feel odd to make Christmas cards when its barely even summer yet! I've started doing the challenges on Winter Wonderland in an attempt to get ahead of myself this year - link on my blog - in fact you could enter this card for their challenge as its 'Blue Christmas'!
I've recently got a few Copic Ciao markers and love them, but they're the type of thing that when you get some you need more! This link is brilliant for Copic stuff:
