Snow Buds

For my very first post of 2015 I would like to share with you a card that I created using Snow Buds digital stamp from Pollycraft.  I started with a card base that would open from the bottom instead of the side. ( I have a habit of creating cards that all open from the side and I'm trying to break myself of this habit.) I added a piece of Christmas patterned paper backed in a red pearl card stock to the card base.  I colored the image using Spectrum Noir pens. (The tan on the image looks like it has more of an orange tint to it in this picture than the actual card does.) I backed the image in a red pearl card stock.  I punched a small snowflake using a Martha Stewart snowflake corner punch, added a pearl to the center and placed it in the corner of the image. I also added crystal stickles to the snowflake and a little to the image. I finished off my card by adding 3 pearls under the image.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
