Christmas Card Challenge Week #32

This week is going to be a double challenge. The first part is the sketch. The second part is to use 1 colored cardstock (I don't count your image if it's on white), 2 stamps, 2 embellishments, and 5 pieces of paper. You can do either one...or both...or if you really hate it, lol...just make a Christmas card. :)


I got this Sugar Nellie image from Wish RAK. I know it's not a Christmas image, but I thought it would be fun to make it seem like she was coming to her mail box and getting some Christmas cards, lol. My card looks really washed out...so sorry for the poor quality of it.

Paper: Basic Grey Wassail
Stamps: Sugar Nellie, Sentiment is Amuse
Prima Flowers, PTI Buttons, and Copics

Mr. Linky Note: Please link directly to the blog post or gallery page where we can view/comment on your creation and not just the generic link to your blog. To get the full url, click the title of your blog post (which will load a page that has just that post on it), then copy and paste the URL into the Mr. Linky form. Thanks and please still post a comment!


Everyone have a great Sunday! Big Brother is on tonight! :)

What a great card. I love that image. It definitely reminds me of somebody anxiously waiting for something to arrive via the postal service.

Great sketch and I'll see what I can do about the rest of the challenge.

This card is adorable! I love how you used a non Christmas type stamp and made it into a Christmas card. I'm going to have to see if I can make something work for this challenge today. Beautiful job Sparkle!
