Christmas Joy

Here's the sketch challenge for the Merry Monday #23 to make a Christmas card.

This is my take on the sketch. I used a cute snowman and sentiment from SNSS along with some Soft Sky card stock and Afternoon Tea dsp from SU! (r). The ribbon is also (r) from SU! I colored the snowman with a B0000 Copic marker, cut him out and popped him up on foam tape. I added some turquoise and chocolate pearls from Pizzazz APlenty for fun. If you enlarge the photo, you might be able to see the checkered design I added to the snowman's scarf using a 0 Copic blender pen, & I colored the carrot nose with a YR15. The background was embossed with a CB snowflake ef. There goes another Christmas card into my stash very early in the year! I likey :)

Thanks for stopping by and make it a great day!
