Pastel Christmas Card

Hi Everyone I wanted to share with you the Christmas card I made using the colors from the JustRite challenge this week, the challenge is to make a card using pastel pink, yellow and blue.  This is a really hard combination for me to use as I tend to stay away from pastel colors when making a card, but I guess that's why it is a challenge.
 
For this card I used JustRite's background stamp "Snowfall".  I stamped this on white cardstock and embossed it using clear embossing powder and clear ink.  I then inked over it using Worn Lipstick Distress Ink.  I layered the card using Spellbinder's "Marvelous Squares", "Classic Squares", and  "Ironwork Motifs". The ornament stamp and greeting is from JustRite's stamp set "Noel Christmas Ornaments".
