Merry Christmas, Roxie! I think you rocked this sketch challenge today! And thanks for the early post. I created a simple card letting my paper do the work. Come have a look!
The new My Mind's Eye Christmas papers look alot like last years Basic Grey papers with a twist in color, but who can resist the charm of snowpeople? I decided to use papers for my panels and a die cut for the sentiment. My background panels and the cardbase are all from Brazzill's Christmas assortment pack. I added the coarse Martha glitter to the small rectangle. I love that stuff!!! And to tie it all together, I faux stitched with one of StarvingArtstamps unmounted images.
Seems a simple card, but it was actually far from it. Sketches continue to challenge my mind into thinking in the box(es)! Thanks for your comments...

Great card Susan, I love it that you let the paper 'do the talking!' Sometimes they are enough...and this paper is fabulous....the raised images definately give dimension as does everything else you have added....fabulous card. I love the challenges for that exact reason - keep you in the box (for a short time anyway)...I don't tend to dwell there too often, not as far out of them as you may dwell, but definitely not in them - well in my mind anyway!!! Thanks for sharing Susan...always inspiring!!!
