Blue Snowman

I quite liking creating Christmas cards with a blue colour scheme.  I suppose it is because blue falls in the cool colour range and Christmas images are often snow based!

I am entering my card into these challenges:

I have created a blue polka dot background using a Memory Box stencil and Distress Ink - Tumbled Glass.  I added some blue snowflake patterned ribbon that I have had in my stash for some time.  The image is a freebie from Crafty Sentiments.  I added three blue buttons from my stash
