Non-traditional Christmas

It's Non-traditional Christmas on Everybody Art Challenge so you might be wondering why I've used traditional colours but if you check out my image its not one you would automatically think Christmas. In fact I've used this Penny Black one a few times for a Mans card.
The papers are Craft Creations and I used a flower punch to make the coordinating flowers. I needed the sentiment to say sending otherwise I don't think the card would work so I had to create in on the PC.
Don't forget to check out the team over on Everybody Art Challenge.
I may have over done it on Sunday and had to give in and rest for most of the day which seems to be the right thing to do since I feel slightly better this morning hopefully I'll get into my craft room  today, lots to do before the weekend.
