Christmas sentiment.....

Now for my card...
I used a fantastic sketch from Mojo Monday, I absolutely loved this sketch the moment I saw it, and you all know me by now, I love using sketches!!!
My backing papers are from a 12x12 paper pad from HOTP called Sarapapers. Some of the most beautiful papers, I have distressed all the edges and glittered them with stickles. I used a Martha Stewart punch to make a nice little punched border between the two papers on the topper. The lace, ribbon and pearls are all from our local market.

My sentiment is a combination of two, designed by the very talented Ann Vento of Raindrop Echo Designs, first a frame and then the word art. I used Promarkers to colour the border of the frame and mat and layered it onto a white card, then I distressed and glittered the edges.

My flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and Hobby Craft, the leaves I made myself.....now I know what you're all saying....the challenge was no red or green, I know and I appologise for this, I had added the flowers and berries and then starting making my leaves, when I was placing the leaves onto the card thats when I realised my 'boo boo', please don't make the same mistake as me!!! Saying that though I do like the splash of red on my card so alls well with the world!!!

I am entering this card into the following challenges:
