Joy to the World Angel Kisses

Hello to all my friends and followers today, I hope you are all having a lovely week so far.
I am doing a post today as we are off visiting the in-laws for the next couple of days and are then visiting Whitby which I'm really looking forward to. My son is staying home to look after the house and all the animals and I think his girlfriend is going to be keeping an eye on him!
I will be taking my tablet with me as we have wi fi in the guest houses we are staying in so hopefully I will be able to still visit and comment on your makes over the next few days. If I don't get round to everyone though please forgive me, I will do my best.
I have done a first for me - I've made a Christmas card in the middle of summer!!
Now normally I'm the sort that doesn't even stamp a Christmas image until at least the end of November. I don't make that many Christmas cards, only a few for close family which totals about 6. But, I have seen  nothing but challenges this past week for Christmas in July so I thought, what the heck, I'll give it a go!!
I'd won this gorgeous image from Lacy Sunshine in a facebook challenge so she was calling out to be made up into a card. I knew that I wanted to keep it quite simple and focus on the image so I was drawn to the sketch over at Sketch Saturday-a very CAS style. I'd also seen the challenge at Fab n Funky for no design papers so thought I'd try and combine the two. I used my Tim Holz distress inks to ink the edge of the layer and then mounted that onto silver mirri card I coloured the image with Promarkers to match, adding a little silver gel pen too. For the faux ribbon strip at the bottom I inked a strip of white card again with distress inks and stamped the snowflakes with a magazine freebie stamp. The sentiment was from another freebie set and it was cut and layered with Nellie Snellen oval dies.  I added a few little silver snowflakes made with an Xcut punch and lots of glitter to her wings:

I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges:
