Monochromatic Scene

I've kept to a non-traditional colour scheme for this one:

I am entering this card into the following challenges:
CHNC - Snowman or Snowwoman (background paper)

Trimgym - Anything Goes

I derived the colour scheme from the image.  At one point, I thought about adding a colourful DP but then decided that would pull away from the image.  Then I came across a monochromatic challenge - so that sorted that one!!

I have used a background paper from Trimgym for this card.  The wide grosgrain ribbon is some that I bought on clearance a while back and still had the packet unopened!  I added a couple of silver glitter domes to it.  The image is from Delicious Doodles and looks good with little added to it.  I have added a bit of Stickles - Frosted Lace to the image but otherwise has been left as it was.

  5. Lovely image, and it looks super as a monochromatic card. Had a very vintage touch I think. TFS & I'll be joining as your newest follower, hope you'll find time to visit me as well. Followed you from Crafty Hazelnuts Christmas.
