I just adore a kraft with red card at Christmas! It has such a homespun, Christmas in the country, feel about it! I'm happy to join the ladies at CAS Christmas celebrate their 3rd Birthday today!
I've decided it was the perfect time to use my stash of Colorado Crafts sets again. This little critter [from Wonderful Time] is taking his warning [from Christmas Presents] quite seriously, don't you think?!
Do you know what else I love with kraft and red? Brown ink - today from CP icing on the cake!
Do you know that those inks are Copic friendly, too? Which was my coloring-medium of choice today.
I am taking the CAS design idea quite seriously, too! Happiest 3rd Birthday, ladies!

the stitched die is a set from a friend - unmarked, sorry... maybe Poppy Stamps?
That is one cute rat! love your use of the colors.
