Christmas Challenge (with sketches) #5

I can't believe we're up to our fifth challenge at CCWS - we're so pleased to see so many of you joining us each challenge and those Christmas boxes must be starting to fill up now! We are being sponsored by Krea Teja. This time it was my turn to design the sketch and this is my card:


The image is another newly downloaded from Inger Harding (if you haven't done so already do go and check out her blog) which I've coloured with promarkers. The backing papers are from an old download called Christmas from around the World. Gold doiley is a die from Cheery Lynn Design, embossed corners are from Spellbinders and the die cut strip is from a Martha Stewart punch. Card is finished with a ribbon and gold berries rescued from a cracker, a sentiment, some pearls and glitter highlights on the stars.

Please pop over to CCWS to see the sketch and the delightful creations that my fellow design team girls have produced.
