Simple Christmas Card for Two Challenges!

Something a bit different to what I've been doing recently - a simple card with a heat embossed image. I made the card for two challenges - the layout is for Sketch Saturday's Sketch 21, and the theme is for Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge 3, which is "blue, white and a touch of snowflake". It was so quick and easy to do that I think I'm going to make half a dozen or so for sending out, maybe altering the colour scheme. I played around with the image in Photoshop (trying to get rid of some of the glare from the pearl card) and decided it looked quite nice in lilac or pink, so I might try that for real!

The stamp is an Anita's one I've had for a couple of years and the embossing is a Cuttlebug folder.

Thanks for looking,
