I do love a sketch when it comes to card making and scrap booking. The only issue I have is trying to narrow down all the ideas that spring to mind.
Today I am playing along with the sketch challenge at CAS Colours and Sketches. And, I’ve made a Christmas Card!! It seems too early to be making Christmas cards, but perhaps I’m just putting it off.
I have used some pretty baubles which I found on a piece of gorgeous patterned paper from my stash. I cut the baubles out and sponged the edges for a little depth. Aren’t they pretty?
The strip of silver along the side and the silver in the ribbon hasn’t shown up sparkly like it does in real life, probably because we have had days and days of overcast and rainy weather which has made my photos turn out a little dull. Not complaining though, we need the rain here.
I hope you like my first Christmas card for the year, I wonder who I will send this one to.
Happy stamping!
Chris

Love the de-bossed background that you used. The cut out baubles look very elegant against it. Thanks for joining us for this week’s CC&S challenge.
