Jingle Belles and Sketchy Thursdays : Two challenges -- one card!

Jingle Belles and Sketchy Thursdays

 This week the DT at Jingle Belles and Sketchy Thursdays are offering us two chances to win! With just one card!! Whoo-Hoo!!!

 Here's the sketch we have to play with.....



And here's my interpretation of the design........



I kept pretty true to the sketch,except I didn't use a ribbon/ stitching for this one. I used some more of my stash of retired DSP( from SU ) with Soft Suede, Very Vanilla and Cherry Cobbler cardstock.The DP is inked in SS and the red is distressed.... can you tell in the pic?? I used the 2.5" circle punch for the inside 1/2 circle and then traced a ribbon spool to make the outer layer! I need a 2.75 punch...is there on e available, I wonder?? Anyhooo..... I cut a small wreath( 1.79 inches) on my Cricut ( Seasons of Joy cart.) in Very Vanilla and the inside  layer in Soft Suede. I used Glimmer Mist on the wreath , although it doesn't show up all that great in this photo, and added a few mini pearls and a grosgrain bow to finish it up. All in all, a very quick card to make.



The sentiment just barely fit inside the modern label punch.... no room to spare!

I'm really liking these Christmas card challenges..... every year I scramble to get all my cards done and in the mail  before the 25th .... not this year!!! *** big smiles!!!***


Go check out all those fantastic entries.........


Until next time..... Happy Crafting!!

  2. Paper Shapers does make a 2 3/4" circle punch (I have it in my stash), but it's always 2 7/8" that I'm looking for. I love that sweet little bow on your pretty little wreath ... thanks so much for joining our Jingle Belles fun.
