Winter wishes

This card reminded me of one of the things I hate about coloring - matching papers to the image afterwards.  I only used two colors, but somehow the colors turned weird, and I had to use weirdly colored paper to make it work.  Also, I strongly feel that Christmas cards have to sparkle, so after I put it all together, my glitter pens got put to work.  I handwrote the sentiment with a glitter pen, too - I'm losing interest in stamped and printed sentiments.  My handwriting is legible, isn't it?  I had to stick an iridescent ribbon on there, too.

The image is from Ildi Co.  I won it back when they were doing challenges - they have a cute Christmas freebie on the site that I think is worth grabbing.  I don't know if they sell stamps any more - I can't find the store. 

Several challenges inspired the final look of the card:

Fairymoon Crafts - sketch
Crafty Calendar - winter + snowflakes
Crafty Pad - Christmas Sparkle
Paper Sundaes - punches, ribbon, blue
Mark's Finest - snowflake
Sweet Stampin - snowflakes
