Well I am beginning to work on my Christmas cards now as I will need lots to send out in the next few week. I am really getting in the spirit now that I am spending time making holdiay cards. How about you?
I have several blogs I read that offer sketch challenges each week. Yesterday I spent the day doing several of them so you would have some creations to look at. The first sketch I tried was from Beate at Fresh and Fun. This was a fun sketch and I really like my card. I chose the sentiment first and then found an image to go with it. It very quickly fell into place after that. To ink the saying I used markers so I could highlight certain words. Here is the sketch and my creation.
I also decorated the inside of the card as it is so much fun. I bet the person who gets this one will be so surprised to see the cute inside. Here is what the inside looks like.
Stamps: Merry, Festive Friends (both retired), Ho,Ho, Ho (katie & co.) Paper: Basic Black, Riding Hood Red, white, Cinnamon Whimsy Stripes PP (Lasting Impressions) Ink: Palette Noir Black , Pretty in Pink, Riding Hood Red, Summer Sun Accessories: Candy Cane eyelet, Ballet Blue – Basic Black – Real Red markers, aqua painter, Photo Corner punch, dauber, dimensionals
So what do you think? Will you give Beate’s sketch a try? Thanks for looking and have a great day!
