Seasons Greetings

This card uses a La Blanche stamp which has been a favourite of mine this christmas. It is a very versatile stamp and really shines without too much doing to it. I have stamped and heat embossed it and then added cosmic shimmer twinkles for that extra touch of bling and sparkle. I have also added some black pearl dots all around the stamped image.
The backing papers are from DCWV which really go with this stamp. I have punched a border strip and threaded some ribbon through it. I have die cut some snowflakes for embellishments. A nice satin black bow and some lovely silver flower sprays finish this card.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:
CRAFT Challenge 132 - Sketch
Winter Wonderland Challenge - Let it Snow
Stampin For The weekend challenge #22 - Christmas
Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas challenge 50 - Traditional christmas
CES Challenge #65 - A Traditional christmas

Cupcake Craft challenge 172 - Don't look at the light
