Well this last week or so has certainly seen my pile of Christmas cards increase dramatically - from none to 1 and now we have 4! - All courtesy of Stampin' Up!'s lovely, nostalgic and vintage feel, product line that is 'Home for Christmas' - Everything from stamp sets and co-ordinating designer series papers and cardstock to trims, embellishments and more.
Inspired by the current sketch challenge over at Global Design Project #GDP006
She knew she wanted Santa's sleigh and liked the sequins and the glimmer paper stars (one of the accessory dies from the Wonderful Wreath framelits set) so these all went on!.Me, I went for something in contrast so chose the really modern and funky looking seasonal sentiment from Sassy Salutations, in of course the ultimate Christmas colour which is 'Stampin' Up!'s Real Red!.
The toning Mossy Meadow ribbon is sadly retired but having a fair bit left, thought I would put it to good use as one of the co-ordinating colours.
All in all 'we' were very pleased how it turned out.

DeleteHi Jan! A fabulous interpretation of this weeks sketch. Modern and funky meets traditional and vintage. I know for sure there's not too many people who could do that so beautifully.
