I love Christmas, and it’s time I started making more progress on this year’s cards. This week our Shining the Light challenge is a sketch that I think you will like. I started with one of my favorite ODBD flowers, Christmas Rose, since I felt just a bit “comfortable” hiding some of that image. This is my first card using ODBD’s new 2013 Christmas Paper, which is beautiful and coordinates with more than a dozen of their images. (I definitely need to order more packs!)

This is so perfectly Christmas, Cheryl. For some reason, I do not own this stamp, even though it is one of my faves. You have done a beautiful job with it in this rich, traditional card.

Oh Cheryl... this is just GORGEOUS!!! Your coloring of the Christmas roses literally curls those petals up visually and they pop right off the page! The beautiful striped dp and the gorgeous bow set it off beautifully! Just breath-taking!!!
