Vintage Christmas Card with no stamping

For this card I've used an image of a girl in wintery clothes. I added a Christmas sentiment  rub-on to the image.
As for my other supplies:
-5 different  papers: plain brown card stock, 2 different papers with spots, paper with script, burgundy velvet paper
- 1 cream colored lace
- 2 ribbons: cream colored with pompons and burgundy velvet
- 3 brads: two on the ribbon and a
star
- 2 dies: tree from Mariann CreaTables and circle (inside the card) from Leane Creatief.

I enter this card into the following challenges:
1) Christmas Card Challenges - #35 No stamping
2) 2 Sisters - #101 Christmas in July
3) Sugar Creek Hollow - #22 Vintage Christmas in July
4) Fussy and Fancy - #68 Vintage (with distressing and lace)
5) ABC Christmas Challenge - O for
Open it up (decorate the inside)
6) Pixie Dust Studio - Christmas
7) 52 Christmas Throwdown - Brads, use at least 3
8) Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas - #83 Tie a ribbon
9) Simply Create Too - Use it Two Times at least (2nd entry)
10) Make it Monday - Anything Goes
