Merry Monday Sketch 25

This week I'm guest designing for the Merry Monday Challenge #25 and this is the sketch we're using. {Lucky me, I won this honor last week}

Here's my take on the sketch. I used the new SU! Christmas Blessings stamp set for this, coloring with colored pencils, an aqua pen, and finishing with Spica glitter pens. The flower centers were dotted with yellow stickles. I used a scrap of unknown dsp I've had in my stash forever, and added some real red card stock. The sentiment was done with an Inkadinkado stamper on a tiny tag punch, and I drew some faux stitching around it to make it stand out more since it was white on white. The ribbon is from my stash, and I added some gold cording to attach the tag. The scalloped border was done with a SU! scallop punch.
I've been having so much fun playing along with these challenges each week, and I'm getting quite a stash of Christmas cards finished much earlier than I normally do! I know I'll be glad when the Christmas rush comes and I'm well prepared! Come on over to the Merry Monday Christmas challenge and play along! You'll be glad you did :)

Thanks for stopping by today and have a great Monday!
