I Love Promarkers DT Card - Something Blue

It's challenge time again at I Love Promarkers, this week our theme is "Something Blue", and we're sponsored by Stitchy Bear, who very kindly gave the DT an image each, of our choice to play with.  I've gone for a Christmas theme for my card, using a digi called "Ornaments", which I've coloured, of course, with my trusty Promarkers.

 After colouring the image, I dusted the edges of the topper with Salty Ocean Distress Ink and used a Papermania Urban border stamp to add interest to the long sides.  I used a border stamp from the same set to heat emboss in white, the lace effect on the navy mat.  The sentiment was stamped with a Papermania stamp from a different set, which I inked a matted to match.  I've no idea what make the paper is, the pack has no cover or cello wrap left, just the loose sheets, it's years old but still perfectly usable.  To finish, I added a trio of silver shimmer dots which are completely flat, meaning that this card can go standard post rather than large letter, which is more than can be said for the vast majority of my cards!
