CHRISTMAS SLEDDING


I am really trying this year to get my Christmas cards done early.  Last year I was still making cards at the last minute.  Hopefully that won't be the case this year.  So here we go again with another Christmas card.  

I wanted to make a fun card.  Something I might be able to give to one of my nieces or my kids.  I recently won this image over at Inky Impressions.  I love their images.  I colored her with Whisper Strokes, Copics and Stampin' Up markers.  I added some Stickles by Ranger and some Liquid Applique on her hat, collar and boots for the fuzzy look.  I also used a white gel pen.  I popped her up with some 3D dimensionals. 

This design is a sketch from Christmas Challenges.  I usually don't do 5x5 cards but this needed the size.  I used patterned paper from Bearly Mine and Papercraft Inspirations.  The sentiment also comes from Papercraft Inspirations.  The remaining papers are Bazzill, Core 'dinations and some generic.  The wreath is a new one I have from Disney.  It has a die cut and then an embossing folder for the design.  The other embossing pattern is from Darice.  I used it on the die cut from Stampin' Up.  I used some Tim Holtz Distress Ink to pop up the design.  The ribbon I used comes from C&G.  The pearls are from Queen & Co. and the flowers from Martha Stewart.  Finally the little teddy bear hanging from the wreath is a charm from Inky Impressions.  

These are the challenges that I am entering:
