Helping Santa

Brace yourself for a masculine card today.  No flowers or pink although I did sneak in some glitter.

Oh and a few pearls.  D'oh!  Ok, so maybe it's not as masculine as I'd hoped for, but it's certainly less girlie than usual, and quite C&S for me.

I've used some of my new Wild Rose Studio papers and a lovely Nellie Snellen image of a little lad pulling his sledge.

The bow is actually a double bow, but it's come out quite dark in the photo. The ribbon is actually a really rich forest green, and quite a bit lighter than it shows here, so I hope you can still make out the double layer of it despite the darkness.
