It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

Hello Friends!  Hope you're all doing well and enjoying the colder days .. I know we are here.  :) 

For my card today, I've gotten to play with a Lili of the Valley Christmas image given to me from a very dear friend.  I really love this cutie and enjoyed colouring her up.  And recently there was a post on Dena's blog where she used like Liquid Pearls as the snowflakes swirling around and I really really loved it a lot .. so I wanted to do it on my snowflakes on this image as well!  Thank you for the idea Dena!

I would love to enter this into:
