Friday Sketchers Challenge

Hello and thanks for visiting me today. I hope you had a wonderful holiday? Mine was great and over in a blink of an eye, wasn't it? Unfortunately, I had a stomach bug the day after Christmas but am much better now and ready to get back to making cards. Well, today I wanted to participate in the Friday Sketchers Challenge.

Here is the sketch we had to follow:



Here's my card:




Hope you're not tired of Christmas cards yet but I had this one on my mind for awhile and wanted to make this card. I turned the sketch a bit and used this adorable image from Inky Impressions called Lili's Slumber Party. I used my Cricut to cut out the window, tree, moon, and santa w/reindeer.

Here's a closeup of Lili:




I colored my image with copics and used these gorgeous Christmas papers from K & Co. So what do you think? Thanks in advance for any comments you might leave. I appreciate it so much. Have a great evening!

Hello Angela,

thanks for visiting my blog and leaving such a sweet comment. I'm visiting your blog and what a beautiful cards you make. I really love the little scene you've made on this card with the window in the background. Lovely stamp and you're colouring is really great, too bad they aren't available in Belgium.
Real artwork!

My best wishes for this new year full of creativity and joy.

I became your folower because I really love your work ;-)

Greetings,

Lins
