Green & Gold Elegance

Good afternoon all, I hope you are all keeping well, warm and safe, the snow has got much heavier here today, so snowed in means more craft time lol. I am having a problem taking photo's as the light is so bad,  this was the best I could do today.
For my card I have used this fabulous image called Blanche from the saturated canary, I have coloured her with promarkers and fleximarkers, Nellie Snellen die cut oval frame,cut from this beautiful new glitter paper I got for christmas, Martha Stewart border punch, Sizzix die cut swirls, punched glitter flower, the backing papers where a freebie from simply cards and papercraft some time ago, ribbon and gem flowers from stash.
I would like to enter my card into the following challenges.
http://divasbydesignchallenge.blogspot.co.uk/ Girly.
http://craftsandmechallenges.blogspot.co.uk/ Something new.
http://www.charismacardz.blogspot.co.uk/ Use at least 2 punches.
http://cutecardthursday.blogspot.co.uk/ Diamonds are forever.
http://crafts4eternity.blogspot.co.uk/ Punch it.
Thank you for visiting my blog, I really appreciate you stopping by.
I hope you have a lovely evening.
