Sunday Sketch & Stamp - Guest Designer

I have another card for my Guest Designer spot over at Sunday Sketch & Stamp for you today, where we have this wonderful sketch to work with:


I used it to make...surprise, surprise...a Christmas card...although I'm not sure I actually need to make any more! The image is from the Penny Black 'Christmas Critters' set, which I coloured using watercolour pencils. The papers and die cut accents are all by My Mind's Eye, mostly from a gift that came free with a craft mag a couple of months ago, but the paper with the larger design is from the 'Wonderful Winter' pad. I distressed the edges of everything, then inked with 'Brushed Corduroy' Distress Ink, before adding some faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a white gel pen. The ribbon came from Poppicrafts...I think!


I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:

    really lovely Helen, a colour combo that would not come instantly to mind, but it works so well.

    Thank you so much for joining my ‘It Takes Two’ theme at Allsorts Challenge this week and good luck.
