How to: help yourself with gifts for X-mas

X-mas cards, X-mas cards everywhere! I told myself I should make one card a day... I'm trying but it's not easy! 

Yesterday I made this card:

I am trying to use different color combos, not only red & green. Here's red, blue and brown + some kraft paper. The digi is from Di's Digi Downloads and you can find it HERE. The girl is a cutie, together with her dog. I won the digi in one of the challenges. The image is painted with watercolors.

Here's the sweet little bell charm I bought recently and you will probably see more of them soon. The ribbon is recycled from a flower (the ribbon was placed under the flower).

Here are some haberdashery's flowers and pearls. The mesh is also recycled from a bouquet.

The sentiment says of course 'Merry X-mas' and the little gift is hidden inside the card!

The card is for the following challenges:
