Christmas Challenge (with sketches) #7

Where are the weeks going to this year - our kids return to school today and it only seems five minutes since they broke up!! Any way it's time for another challenge over at CCWS and this time it was Janneke's turn to make the sketch and we're being sponsored by Crealies. Here is my card:


Using this gorgeous image from Just Inklined which I've coloured with promarkers then used up some leftover mix of white flowersoft and glitter to highlight the snow. The backing papers are from my bit box and I think they're from Joanna Sheen's Pam West CD. Lacy doiley is a Cheery Lyn die again found in my bit box. Finished with some raffia ribbon, sentiment and some pearls.


Do pop over to CCWS to see the sketch for yourself and find out how the rest of the Design Team have interpreted it. I do hope you can join us this challenge and get those Christmas cards made early.

Challenges entered:
Fab's big Christmas - use a CD or kit
Saturday Challenge - Christmas is coming
Clear it Out - glitter it
