Yay! I got to play this week. Here's my card for Tracy's Sketchy Thursday Card Challenge over on her blog. I really enjoyed this sketch, thank you Tracy!
The sketch asked for a circle but I used a rectangle shape instead, hope that's okay! I really wanted to use this tree stamp!http://eatsleepstamp.typepad.com/tra...ursday-59.html
This stamp is actually just a bare tree, just plain twigs/branches. I drew in the green leaves myself using a green color copic marker. The red dots are liquid applique and for the glittery snow, I used stickles (frosted lace). The flower pot stamp is by Judith which I paper pieced w/ just scraps from my stash. The red patterned paper in the back and the stripe patterned paper are by My Mind's Eyes called Wonderful Winter. Love that set of papers! Thanks for looking!
