Hot Holiday Wishes

This image is probably more relevant to the temperatures we have here for Christmas.  For us, Christmas is in the middle of summer - although I have to admit we don't have the temperature extremes that other countries have!

I would like to enter my card into these challenges:

I have used three papers from Bearly Mine Designs.  The mage is from QKR Stampede - I paper pieced some of it with 2 of the Bearly Mine Designs papers and then added some further colour using copic markers.  The sentiment is from a paper pad by Kaisercraft - the colour works well with the papers.  I used some pearlised paper for matting the image.
