Edwin and My 1st Envelope Card - DT for I ♥ Promarkers

Good morning to all in blogland, well i got my antibiotics so hopefully this darned ear infection will be gone and i can wear my hearing aid again!!
We have a new challenge at I ♥ Promarkers!!  
I thought i would attempt to make an envelope card as they always look so elegant so i hope i've pulled the elegant look off!!

Image - Magnolia's Edwin and Sentiment from the Sweet Christmas Dreams Collection.
DPs - Marianne Designs Songbook paper bloc
Tools - Magnolia Swedish Lace border die, Vintage Tag and Doily Flowers dies.

and
EK Success Snowflake punch
Embellishments

and
Glitter and Pearls from my stash.
Button recycled from an old shirt
If anyone is wondering what template i used well i didn't use one,
i measured 18ins across and then scored at 6in intervals and 6ins in height.
I distressed all the edges of the card and dies with Tim Holtz  Antique Linen Distress Ink.

I find it a beautiful card, but unfortunately you have not read the conditions. It should be a winter card. And you have made ​​a Christmas card.
Hopefully you still have time to participate and a winter map.
Unfortunately this card can not join the challenge at DMCC
