Clear Dollar Stamps Presents Kathy’s Lily Pad Palette Challenge over at Lily Pad Cards

Hi!  I've made a card for the Clear Dollar Stamps Presents Kathy’s Lily Pad Palette Challenge over at Lily Pad Cards.  

Here are the colors:
Here is my card:

I wanted to make something simple and I recently was looking at some cards online and I love the use of solid color cardstock with embossing folders.  I tried many different backgrounds and I settled on this great shimmery paper that looks like swirling snow.  I apologize that my picture doesn't do it justice, I tried many ways to capture it but with no luck.  Also I admit getting the blue on there was difficult for me, I already had the idea of making a card with the poinsettia and I really wanted to push myself to complete this card.  I finally came across that blue button and it just begged to be on there.  I hope you enjoy!
