Merry Christmas - Sketch N Scrap Card Sketch #160 Take Two

Hello, everyone! Happy Monday to you! Christmas is just a couple of days away - are you all ready? For the most part, I am done, but until it's the actual day I feel like I need to do more!

I have another Christmas card to share with you today. I loved this sketch that Lisa created for our December 20th reveal at Sketch N Scrap so much that I had to make another card using it. And between you and me, I have another idea for a birthday card using this sketch...I'm just not sure when I will get it done! 

Here's a look at the sketch:

I have had this little tree stamp for years and have never inked it up. It's too cute to not put to use and now that I've finally used, I am sure it will be one of my favorites! It's a Studio G stamp set and the copyright is 2012 - which is probably when I bought it. 7 years is a long time to let something this cute sit and not be used!

I colored the image with my ShinHan markers - it's been a long time since I used any of those, too, die cut it into a circle and matted it with another circle. I also added a few gems and a wood veneer star to the top of the tree. 

I used my swiss dot embossing folder on the white panel and added my sentiment- which I just typed up on the computer using the Penelope Anne font - and punched into a tab shape. I added a green tab behind it so it would stand out from the white background.

Warm Winter Wishes - Sketch N Scrap Card Sketch #160

Hello, everyone! Happy Friday to you! I hope that you have had a good week and are all ready for Christmas. 

It's time for the last sketch challenges of the month - and year - at Sketch N Scrap today. Lisa has created a great sketch that is definitely a favorite of mine and I am sure to use it again.

I decided that since the first day of winter is just a couple of days away, that I would create a wintery card for today's sketch.

I found these papers when I was going through my scraps box and thought they would be a cute match to that cute little snowman. I added a bit of silver glitter paper and a silver glitter snowflake to my card. I also added a bit of Wink of Stella to the snowman to make it look a little more like snow but it is really hard to tell that in the photos.

Head on over to Sketch N Scrap to see the fun cards from the rest of the design team. I hope you can find some time this busy holiday season to play along with us!
