Pink and Brown Christmas

After a couple of weeks of slow internet speeds meaning that I had insufficient time to make many cards, I have managed to start getting back on top of everything.  Time for a non-traditional christmas card:

This card is for the following challenges:
Ruby's Rainbow - Non-traditional Christmas

Peppercus - At least three beads:

I often have trouble with the translation of the Peppercus Designs Challenges.  My son is learning German at school and is meant to be helping me when I get stuck!  I'm hoping that my pearls are the correct interpretation of "beads".

I have used pinks and browns for this card.  I have also used a non-traditional paper from Bearly Mine Designs but felt it worked well anyway.  The glitter tape is from American Crafts and is self-adhesive.  The ends don't fray so is much better than ribbon when you don't want to go to the edge of the card!    The image that I have chosen to use is a recent freebie from Peppercus Designs.
