Woohoo! It's Friday!! Time for another one of Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenges! :-) I went the Christmas route again...it seems that's all I'm thinking about lately! AND, we haven't even gotten through Halloween yet! LOL!
I combined the Sewing Box Christmas set (Waltzingmouse Stamps) and some rustic Graphic 45 paper to create this slightly non-traditional Christmas card! For the vertical elements on Beate's sketch (you can see the sketch HERE) I used some Spring Moss ribbon. A few rhinestones, a punched border, some stitching, a button, and a tag (sentiment is also from the Sewing Box Christmas) and my card was complete!
Did you see all the peeks Claire is sharing over at her blog? She is getting ready to release three new sets! SOOO fun!
There is more Weekend Sketch Challenge Inspiration for you! Check out what Beate, Cambria, Charmaine, Jenn, Lori, Mary Jo, & Sharon have created!
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a wonderful weekend! ~Laurie
