Snowman's Stocking

I have a rather long list of Christmas card orders (yes, already!) so need to get cracking. I do find that when I need inspiration, its so much easier to find a sketch challenge - usually because my mind is already onto my next card and what to use!

This image is From The Heart Stamps - Snowman's Stocking and I've coloured it with Promarkers plus a little glitter on the hat and also for the snow.  You can't see, but I've also added glossy accents to the hearts.  And because it needed something to 'hold' it together, I've added a dotted line of liquid pearls around the edge of the image and also the card blank.


I've added ribbon and bakers twine from my stash and hand wrote the Sizzix tag and finished it off with a Marianne Creatables snowflake die and found some tiny half pearls in my stash (I have a feeling they have been languishing in my box for some time!) that matched the colour scheme.

One down, loads more to go!

I'd like to enter the following challenges:

Jingle Belles:  Christmas - Something From my Stash - old, old half pearls!
Aud Sentiments:  Anything Goes plus Sentiment
CRAFT:  Christmas
Crafting By Designs:  Get Ready For Christmas
From The Heart Stamps:  Sketch and twist followed
