I hope no one else is feeling as frazzled as me - remind me never to do work on the house within six months of Christmas ever again!! It's time for a new challenge at CCWS and this time it was my turn to design the sketch. The sketch is a fairly simple one which can be embellished or not as you please. We're being sponsored by Whiff of Joy. I've struggled to make my card as my craft stuff has had to be deposited back into my newly refurbished craft room in boxes in order to organise the sitting room for Christmas! Luckily I found this image in the bit box!
Stamp from Joanna Sheen, stamped and embossed with white detail EP. Backing paper is from my stash. Snowflake punch from Martha Stewart. Finished with some ribbon, snowflake waste, sentiment and some gems.
Do pop over to the challenge blog to view the sketch for yourself and see the other girls' interpretations.
