Here is my card: 

I loved that cozy red plaid blanket in the bottom right, but I couldn't find any pretty plaid in my paper stash--how can that be?!?!  So I created my own, quite simple and painless.  I started with a pretty Red card stock and using a White Marker ($1 from Target), a Green Copic and a Sakura Silver Glitter Pen I was able to created this beauty.  The Glitter Pen really adds so much to the 'print', it shimmers and shines beautifully!  

Real Red and Raven Black inks.

Stamps by Flourishes; Grab A Cup.  Image colored with Copic Markers.  

Penny Black Border Edges die.
