How to: make Christmas shopping

Wow, it's amazing, I made another X-mas card, so now I'm having... wait... 6 of them! Geeee, it's gonna really be a disaster, I'm afraid...

Anyway

This card is made according to the sketch from 2 Sisters Challenge Blog:

 

and the color palette is from City Crafter Challenge Blog:

 

and of course there's a tree at my card, too, as the challenge requires. Here's my card:

 

Have you made your Christmas shopping, yet? At my country the heat just begun! I'm too busy now to participate in it, but I see people running around with the craziness in their eyes. People, calm down, it's November!

The digi is from Sliekje Digi Stamps and you can find it HERE. It's being painted with watercolors.

Here's the Christmas tree from Marianne's Design die, I finally found a way to both cut it & emboss it with my Big Shot machine. The other snowlake is from Joy Craft. The ribbon is made by me.

The other dies are from Sizzix. The sentiment says 'Merry X-mas' and it's a sticker put on the piece of ribbon (dismantled from a bouquet).

I added a white paint all around to make the card more 'freezing'.

The card is for the following challenges:
