Baby's First Christmas Card

I made this baby's first Christmas card using Baby's First Taste Of Snow from Karen's Doodles. The challenge at Karen's Doodles this week is to use 7 of something. I used 7 pink gemstones. There is 1 on each snowflake (3 snowflakes), 3 in the upper right corner and 1 on the sentiment. The sketch that I used is from this week's challenge at Lili Of The Valley.

I added crystal stickles to the snowflakes on the image and the punched snowflakes.
