Joy to the World

This card uses a stamp set from Creative expressions called Vintage Christmas. I just love the scene of this house. I have added slight colours of brown and to the image to stand it out from the background I have used promarkers for this. The background panels are made using my Cuttlebug and a snowflake embossing folder.
There is an embellishment of foliage at the side of the card which I have made using a Tim Holtz die which is great because you are able to arrange all the pieces into your own embellishment spray. There are also some silver flowers placed on the top of this spray. I have also added a large silver bow for extra dimension which has two silver bells attached to it.The saying is from a set of greetings from Flower Soft which have a very vintage feel to them.
To really stand out the image I have added some cosmic shimmer twinkles for the snow on the ground and on the rooftops.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:
Fab 'n' Funky challenge #98 - All White on the Night
I kove Promarkers challenge#91 - sketch
Craft Your passion challenges83 - Anything goes and brown
Crafty Creations challenge #142 - Brown/White/Silver
Little darlings challenge 11 - Silver Bells
