It's a really easy image to colour, so you can do several at same time. I've used Promarkers Pear Green (very apt), Tan and Pastel Blue. When you add a little Star Dust Stickle it really blings it up and looks lovely. The ribbon is from stash and happened to be just the right shade! Sentiment is from Pink Petticoat. I think PP have saved my life this Christmas LOL. They are convenient, so easy to print off and I love them!!
I took the photos on my daughter's camera before she went away for weekend. Just got an email saying that the Repair Centre has received my camera and it has been passed on to the techies !!! I had to pay £5.20 to have it tracked, but it was part of the agreement. Really hope they can fix it - I love my red camera!!! and it's fab in low light.
I got my old camera out at weekend to try. It was one of the first digital cameras made. Let's just say that I hope I never have to post a card taken on that camera!!! LOL .... it's a huge brick!!! and after 2pm you can't even see the LCD Screen let alone take a photo. Such is the advances of technology.
Anyway, back to my card. I think this qualifies as Less is More? and it's definitely green! and it sparkles!! LOL .... so
I would like to enter this card into the following Challenges:-
Less is More - Challenge 44 - 'Green' (ends 9th December 2011)
Dream Valley - Challenge 21 - 'Sparkle' (ends 10th December 2011)
Hope you are all well and keeping warm!
Thanks for all your lovely comments!! and a warm welcome to my new followers!!
Big Hugs!

Hi Sue,
I think your card is absolutely perfect for the "Green" theme, A perfect, elegant card...I do love that image, so classic (and I think you do have some white space as well:)) Hugs, Teresa xx
Hi Sue, I agree, this is a fab image and I can't believe I've only used it once. Love your card - great colouring and the ribbon is perfect.

Sarah is asking me to make cards for her friends at the last minute so tonight it's gonna be work work work lol

As Mandi said there's a lack of white space on your card, but it's a super design and a beautifully coloured image.
Thanks so much

Sorry LIM !!! :-(
I struggle with CAS definition. I am thinking now the 'white space' can be any colour but not patterned!!!
I will try again.... if at first you don't succeed....
I think Pre Christmas stress is getting to me - nearly entered this card into a 'spots' challenge!!! LOL realised at the last minute that they are Stars!! Doh!!
Hugs Sue xx

Lovely card, very festive and that image is fab Karen x
This is a beautiful clean and simple card - love the colors! Thanks for playing with us at Dream Valley Challenges.
Its amazing how we take the little things for granted :) I know when hubby used my wee digi-camera earlier this year and I couldnt find it for 2 days I was in a right strop! :) He has oodles of camera gear, so I dont know why he wanted my tiny little thing. Its the only one I get on with tho!
Love your stylish and simple christmas card, I always plan to design something and make a few, but never seem to find the right generic image - this is perfect! :)
The little bit of sparkle really sets it off. Gorgeous card!
hugs
