INKspired Sketch Blog Hop - Sketch 2

                                          Welcome to my blog page.

If you are following the blog hop, this is the second INKspired blog hop and you have arrived here from Cherie Davies blog, so an extra cheery welcome to you!




Spring is finally here which means Christmas is fast approaching, hence the overload of my Christmas card designs. My schedule is tight so I know that I just have to keep plodding away in order to get my cards completed...I hope you all love Christmas as much as I do and draw some inspiration from my cards :)





                        This fortnight we were given quite a simple sketch, so I decided to challenge 
                           myself by using designer series paper (something I don't use very often).






   I am really happy with how
   my card turned out. 
    
   I think I got a little carried 
   away with the snowflake 
   theme, but it all ties in
   so nicely together that I 
   couldn't help myself.

   Loving the snowflake 
   embellishment.


   Think I have a new love for
    designer series paper too:)



I used white embossing powder to emboss the MERRY stamp image and the 'Christmas', and 'Peace & Joy' stamps are from the Good Greetings Stamp set that is being offered in a current promotion. You will also notice that the green 'at' on the inside of the card is actually handwritten with a green galore marker.

    1. Thanks Louise. I have to admit, I wasn't too keen on this stamp set at first but ordered it anyway...and have to say I am loving it now that I can see how effective it is on cards :)
