9/10/2017 Update: Favorite of the Week at Splitcoast Stampers for the week ending 9/09/2017.
9/06/2017 Update: Top Three winner at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge!
Here it is - September, and I only have a few Christmas cards made. I thought I could accomplish one per week but it has not happened. I managed to get one made for this week and here it is! The layout was inspired by a sketch challenge.
The images were stamped onto white cardstock, die cut and colored with markers. The sentiment was stamped and the shape is from a punch.. On a panel of white cardstock, a strip of black cardstock was added to represent the road and the tree was adhered and topped with a sparkly snowflake. The strip of patterned paper was added along with the green satin ribbon and red sequins. The remaining elements were popped up and adhered with foam tape. A piece of ribbon was added to the lower right corner of the sentiment. The inside was stamped with the image of gifts and colored.
