Well another 2 weeks have flown by and its time for a new challenge from Christmas Challenges {with sketches} and this time around we have a fab sketch from my lovely teamie Monique.
Pop over to the DT blog and check out the sketch and also find out about the fab prize on offer from our sponsor HeinDesign
I've used a digi stamp from Pollycraft for my image, coloured with coloursoft pencils, apart from the moon which is painted with Twinkling h2os. I've added white acrylic paint with lots of glitter for the clouds and inked around the edge of the image with tumbled glass distress ink. The backing papers are all from a crafting cd that came as a freebie with a craft mag a few years ago. I've added some red ribbon with white stitches from Crafty Ribbons, some glittered die cut snowflakes and a sentiment stamped in red brilliance ink.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
2 Sisters: gingham or plaid
CD Sunday:Winter wonderland
Crafty Ribbons: anything goes
Jinglebelles Rock: Inspired by song (Suzy Snowflake)
Magical Mondays: Christmas in September
Paper Sundaes: Anything goes
Sparkles Forum: something that sparkles
Thanks for popping by today

ReplyDeleteHi Claire. Great card. I love using gingham. Somehow it seems to go with most things and is always so fresh looking. Thank you for joining in with us at Cd Sunday.

I like the way the gingham background is picked up by the stitching of the ribbon. & her stripey socks. the way those glittered snowflakes make the eye "see" the ones in your spotted paper & the little ones on the moon is very interesting & a lovely piece of designing.
