There's a fab sketch for this week's
Inspirational Card Sketches Challenge...which I combined with the themes of a few other challenges:
Daring Cardmakers and
Cuttlebug Challenges 'My Favourite Things (I'll put a list at the end of this post);
Our Creative Corner's 'Favourite Holiday Book/Movie' (in my case it's 'The Snowman'); and
Papertake Weekly's 'Spots 'n' Stripes' challenge. I used 'Snowy' by Penny Black,
watercolouring him to match the My Mind's Eye '29
th Street Market' papers...and I couldn't resist adding some glitter to the fur on his hat. I used my 'Swiss Dots' folder on the reverse of the paper for the strip along the top. The ribbon is from
Poppicrafts, the sentiment stamp is by Three Bugs in a Rug, and the snowflakes were cut using a
Cuttlebug die.
My Favourite Things:
- Christmas Cards
- Sketch Challenges
- Penny Black stamps (especially 'Snowy')
- My Mind's Eye '29th Street Market' papers
- Ribbon
- Cuttlebug 'Swiss Dots' folder
- Nesties - what would we do without them???
- Cuttlebug 'Snowflakes' die
- Stickles Glitter Glue
- Three Bugs in a Rug Christmas sentiment stamp - I've used these loads this year!
