I love this image that was sent to me by my friend Roxystamper and I just had to use it! I couldn't resist 'blinging up' the lights (I did see that both Suleika and Nancyruth had done a similar thing on one of their cards...got me thinking!)
I used the Divine Swirls EF to give the card the impression of a bit of movement, the triangle buttons made me think of icebergs...and then of course...there are the pearls...I am happy with the end result, it's a bit different than the traditonal Christmas colours.
Oh and FYI every time I do a card has blue on it, I can hear Peggy's comment 'Oh and did I tell you blue is my favourite colour (LOL)!?' So Peggy my friend....I thought of you as I made this....and...yes, I know blue is your favourite colour! (LOL)
Thanks for taking the time to have a look and for the encouraging comments that you leave!!

Oh, I love, love, love it! I might have to case you on this one, you know. Spectacular job, my friend. I do love looking at your creations with the images I sent you. It gives me a lot of new ideas. Awesome colors and I love how you used the swirls ef, which I have also. I don't have your gorgeous dp but I can improvise on that. I also love the triangular buttons that look like icebergs. I'm saving this one into my faves folder. TFS!

That Peggy has us trained with the BLUE! This is so cute! I thought of icebergs right away too! I was wondering if you do summery Christmas cards sometimes in Australia too? In Seattle we do lots of snowy type images, but it rarely snows, it usually rains!

There are so many cute things on this card! Love the triangles, the ribbon, the image, the embossing, the dp, the glittery lights, the sentiment..... This card has it going on!
