Sketch challenge

Freshly Made Sketches has a fun sketch challenge this week.

I'm still plugging away on my Christmas cards.  So here is my card:

I started with red cardstock as the base.
Next layer is branch patterned paper.  Then an olive colored green strip.
The tag:  I stamped snowflakes in SU! Whisper White craft ink.  Love this stuff.  Added red ribbon.
The penguin is recycled from an old Christmas card that I cut out with a punch.  
I printed "Merry Christmas from the Newmans" on my computer and used a punch to cut it out.
ta da!

Thanks for swinging by!
