Festive Christmas Card

Hi All,
This is my first card for Christmas.I have used three different patterned papers from Itsy Bitsy. The focal image is a hand drawn Christmas image, as I do not have any stamp, ink with me, planning to start collections sooner :).I have used the colours red, green and mustard yellow for the image, surrounding the image I have drawn a circular outline with Silver glitter pen.
I have incorporated stitching at the right bottom and top of the card, done a simple cross-stitch with an embroidery thread.
Added a white lace at the bottom of the card , with a layer of ribbon and a beautiful bow with a button at the centre, which I bought from crafter friend Kalayalaya's craft store.

For the first time, making use of punched flowers to do some embellishments. Well looks pretty interesting,at the top left, I am including punched flowers with red and green glazed sheet, with silver gem stones at the centre of the flower.
A view of the focal image.
