Christmas Challenges (with sketches) #21

 It's time for our next challenge over at CCWS and we hope you're playing along with us this year and stocking up on those Christmas cards and projects. Marion has designed the sketch this time and we have an added twist of "Baby it's cold Outside". We are being sponsored by Krea Teja.


Image is from Whoopsi Daisy and is coloured with promarkers, papers are from Wild Rose Studio. Background is embossed with a Cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder. I've used my distressing tool on the embossing and the paper edges. Bow is made from seambinding on the mini Bowdabra. Card is finished with lace, buttons, stickles and sentiment from my stash.

You will have to pop over to the challenge blog to see the sketch for yourself, remember to check out the inspiration of the other DT members whilst you're there.

    what a totally lovely and appealing holiday card--LOVE that image and the gorgeous soft color palette and it's an especially GREAT use of buttons, as well as that lovely seam binding!!!

    (ps: we've actually switched over to "stickers & rub-ons" fr the current fortnight at JINGLE BELLES, but there's still a week left to join in; we're sponsored by EAD Designs and there's a great prize so we hope you'll play! i know it's harder to keep track this year since we went to every OTHER week; but we are ALWAYS thrilled to see an amazing christmas card made to ANY of our fun prompts!) ♥♥♥
