Christmas Card Challenges #2

Hey Everyone I am so happy to be back with you again.  With Christmas just around the corner I haven't been on here that often and for that I truly do apologize.  I will do my best to get at least another card posted this week, but I make no promises.  I hope that you are all enjoying this beautiful season and that you are getting a chance to spend some time with your loved ones and friends.  

This week the challenge at Christmas Card Challenges is a photo challenge.


I would love to see you join us and play along with the Design Team for this challenge.  You can find a link to the challenge at the top of this post.  

For this challenge I tossed around the idea of 2 images that I had that I knew would work perfectly for this.  I finally settled on one and decided that I was going to make this card in Non-traditional colours.  For those of you who follow my blog you can see that I usually LOVE to stick to traditional colours, but I thought changing it up would be a challenge for myself too.  

I started with colouring the image, and then selected pattern papers to go along with it.  I also figured out the card layout after choosing the pattern papers.

Here's the image that I used on the card...
