Snowglobes with Red Backgrounds

Well, yesterdays cards all had green backgrounds (they seem to go down well here in Ireland for some reason :-). Today's have red backgrounds.

 

It was a bit trickier to photograph these for some reason, so please forgive the reflections from the camera flash in the acetate.

 
 
I love that image of Father Christmas in his sleigh being pulled along by the reindeer.
 
 
As you can see, I've used up lots of odds and ends of ribbons on these cards, and apart from the snowglobe images, the rest of the papers are mostly from magazine free gifts.

 

So we've had red and blue, red and green, red and bronze, and finally red and purple! You'll have noticed that I use a different cardstock to cut the frame and stand for the snowglobes depending on the colour scheme, but in each case I like to rub the card with some gilding wax, either gold or silver depending on the colour of the card.

Entered for the following challenge:
