They have a sketch challenge over at the Just Us Girls blog this week and it's a fun one! It was easy enough for me to make another last-minute Christmas card. I love it when things come together quickly, especially when there's SOOoo much to do this time of the year!I started with the image from Many Merry Messages and stamped it with Versafine Onyx Black on wc paper, and embossed it with clear ep. I colored the images with Tombows and added red stickles to the gigantic nose of the reindeer in the center. The DP was a well-loved scrap (mfr unknown) that I've had forever. I layered the image on a panel of scrap green cardstock using Labels four Nestabilities. The brads were pink, but I made them red by dipping in Versamark and then red ep and heating them (twice). I wonder why I'm unable to find Red or White brads or eyelets anywhere? It seems I always have to buy assorted packs just to get a few red or white ones. Anyway, the flowers are from Making Memories and the ferns were made with a MS punch. Ribbons were from my stash. I'm already tired of making Christmas cards and hopefully I'm just about finished with them now. Soon I'll have to start baking, but I always do that last. If I bake cookies too soon, there are none left by Christmas!! LOL!!!
Have a wonderful Sunday whatever you're doing and TC!
