From The Heart Stamps Sketch 130

Time for a new FTHS sketch challenge!  I've used Snowman's Stocking from the store, coloured with Promarkers and watercolour pencils plus added glitter glue for snow.  Everything else is from my stash.

Here is the sketch to follow along with the twist - you can do either or both but please remember that you must use a FTHS image.

And here is the inside of my gift card holder.

Good luck - for more inspiration, the deadline and how to enter, pop over to the blog!  I'd like to enter the following challenges:

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!
